Just a thought or two...

Do you run after market wheels?
If so, do they centre on the hubs or studs - Hub Centric or Lug Centric?

Hey mate, what condition are your front end bushings in? For upper and lower control arms and diff and panhard rod. Worn bushings can cause vibes that get worse with speed. They are old machines, if you haven’t had them replaced as yet, it’s worth checking.

Other possible, is checking your front driveshaft.
Good luck, these issues can be quite annoying to solve.

Most likely original. Will have Panhard rod bushes changed soon, LCA and UCA bushes are easy as to change and very cheap off the net from the US from the looks of it..... Balljoints a cause for concern?

On the topic of driveline vibes, off the mark I get a huge wobbling, and a stutter the whole way through first gear if I am on it hard. Every other gear is fine..... Checked my driveline angle, its bang on literally .1deg off with a tcase drop and 2" lift. Has to be coming from somewhere else

Have new unis, tranny + pass side engine mount (drivers side is good), new front shaft unis too..... new rear wheel bearings...... Only thing I can think it is is the front shaft. I'll remove it again.... if not that maybe rear shaft....
