Rear adaptor looks good as it sits. Once I see what's up with the front, I may as well remove and check this one...

Here's the scoring on the back (trans) side of the adaptor where it wasn't fully seated on the transmission.

I created the scoring line here by pressing the adaptor against the transmission to see where it needed to be chamfered.

I used the score line as indicator for where to chamfer the adaptor to clear it.

Blue ink shows no contact now and scuffs show it seats fully against the transmission.

Thanks to stubby wrenches, I didn't have to lower trans or crossmember. Flange was very tough to get off, which surprised me as it slid right on.

Not as much contact marking as I'd have expected.

The reluctor wheel, seal and outer bearing were basically sitting here when I pulled the half shaft out. Races look ok though... Plastic from outer seal itself was very brittle/dry

With grease cleaned off, looks to be in ok shape, right?

Stub axle came out easily, grease was black, spacer slid out, no shims.

Bearings had less grease than I'm used to seeing.

Outer bearing race where, if you zoom in, you can see the vertical marks I think are from the roller bearings.

New transmission extension housing with new bushing, seal(s) and flange nut. Pretty easy install once the transmission crossmember was loosened and mount removed.

More wear elsewhere on the bushing.

Best view of the wear induced from the vibration. The wear pattern is quite visible.

The new driveshaft has a MUCH bigger stub/slip joint.

I'm pretty happy with the finished product. It closes things up nicely. Next step is to have to the tune adapted to accommodate the revised intake characteristics.

I made templates from cardboard that followed the contour of the passenger fender well and up to the height of the existing bodyline/weatherstripping for a close seal to the hood insulation. I then transferred to sheet metal. (I forget what gauge I used, but I could cut it with my jigsaw and metal scissors).

I made the longitudinal piece such that it slid between the crush tube and fender well, and extends under the radiator support out towards the back of the headlight. It ends right next to the headlight adjuster knob. It's riveted to the piece that curves on the wheel well.

After measuring 3x, I made one cut to allow the intake tube to pass into the closed off area. The piece along the wheelwell is screwed to the inner fender and also the wheel well, hidden under the wiring loom in this pic.

Pic of left side lower contol arm on a 2000 X308 at a local pull and pay yard this weekend. Shows bolt inserted from the rear, just ahead of the steering linkage.

This is the collar that I noticed as getting heat damaged, and the visible side faces the downpipe when the steering wheel/gear is oriented for straight ahead travel.

Here's where I added another layer of heat wrap, the clearance is really tight. You can see the hard line that I rewrapped too.

And a view of the collar wrapped with heat tape. Fingers crossed this slows the deterioration.
