Having put the Diff in about two weeks ago on my build, I must have been lucky. I removed the board in the boot above the diff and lifted it with the Engine Hoist, this held it in place and was easy to jiggle into place. Got the two bottom bolts in first and centered the diff, then having aligned the top hole by eye as best as possible, used lots of copper slip and top bolt went straight through with couple of blows from the mallet (which happens to be the most valuable bit of the toolkit).
Come to think of it, it seems so far almost every bit of the build has in some way involved a bit of persuasion from the mallet !!
