OPTIONAL DETAIL:
You could add circlips to the boots using thin strips of metal foil tape or silver paint.
This is entirely at the builder’s discretion.
Fit the drive shafts in place between the differential and the outer hub on each side.
Contrary to the printed instructions, you will find it far easier to fit the outer end of the shaft against the hub FIRST, before attaching the shaft to the differential.
Store the assembly and the unused steering rack, part 39G safely for now.roymattblack attached the following image(s):
