Hmmm. There is not much clearance at the best of times.
Did you fix a bracket from one of the downpipes to the back of the diff.?
The LCB has to be fitted securely in place first before the exhaust goes on.

I had this problem before when I put a rose jointed engine steady on. I adjusted it forward to much and the manifold snapped in half lol. If you have an adjustable top steady you could adjust it back. otherwise I am clueless . |

The harder the bushes in the engine steady the more vibrations you will get. If the engine is tilted forward you will have less clearance between the LCB and inner pot joint. |

As I found out the hard way. The rose jointed one didnt half put a virbation through the pedals too. I got Poly bushes in my one atm and they seem to be doing the trick, although I have just put a competition engine steady on the other side so I dont get any movement in mine now  . |
