In the end I got lazy and bought the Top bones, though at some point I'd like to try some Yoko ones, I know one site lists the Top pin retainers in the Yoko section, which suggests something interesting, looking forward to the steel bones though, my alloy ones have worn a fair bit in 10.5T.
Front ECS not needed right now, still playing with a front diff, in fact I got some 200k oil to try, though what I'm really looking forward to is the Yoko rear diff showing up in my parts order...
