Hi Mick,
Sorry to hear of your diff woes, but glad to hear you're well on the road to recovery!
When I was taking the Spitfire apart I remember questioning the parentage of the designers who seemed to have gone to great lengths on the drawing board to make each nut and bolt the most inaccessible they could for no apparent reason.
That long rear diff carrier bolt was the worst, as it had managed to corrode itself along the full length into the guide tube.
Just out of interest what diff have you used - I'm sure I read somewhere that the latest 1500 ones were strengthened??
Good luck with the rest of the fix.
Steve.
