Differential Clunk

[Chris Attias <cattias@cats.ucsc.edu>]

Listees,

I've seen numerous stories on replacing the shims in a later MG 
Salisbury rear axle to eliminate the free play that causes axle 
"clunk",  but I've never seen anything written about doing the same 
to older banjo type axles.  From the exploded diagrams, they appear 
to have similar parts, so I would think that this would be the same 
procedure, except that the diff could be removed to do the work on 
the bench.  Has anyone tried this on a banjo axle?
