I forgot to take any pics of it before I bolted it on, but here it is in place. It's in a bit of an awkward position to take photos of, but you probably get the idea:
I fabricated it out of 3mm steel plate, and it's bolted via a pair of landrover engine mounts to a 6mm plate welded into the chassis seat back.
I'm not particularly keen on using the rubber mounts in shear, but I think (hope!) they'll be ok.
The mount is attached to the front of the diff using a pair of 110mm M12 bolts.
The bolt holes in the diff are sleeved down using some ally tube to get a better fit on the bolts.

EDIT:
This was another bad idea on my part!
After 650 miles of driving the landrover mounts sheared off resulting in a broken diff and damaged propshaft...
