Thanks for the compliment. I'm very pleased with the way they turned out and how they both run.
The blades are just for reducing wear on the centre drive-line. It was always a bug bear of mine on the old car's that the slipper hubs wore out and they were an expensive item to replace. I had the blades from the TC program and made it a 'must-do' to get them on this car.

We couldn't get them under the existing boots to run on the wheel driveshafts, and from previous experience the blades seem to suffer quite heavily in off road when they are constantly getting dirt and crud thrown at them.
