Title: Australian differential cover....
Post by: vinnietbird on October 21, 2007, 10:10:02 AM
Here's the cover I got off Ebay.I thought it was aluminum when I bought it,but it's solid steel.I like it though.It was actually made for rock climbing vehicles.I have to paint the rear,but this is a shot from when I was assembling the rear.Remember Chuck?LOL.The eccess sealant is gone.That was seconds after tightening the bolts.

Better than cool.........CHEAP !!! I got it (brand new in the box) for just a few dollars.I didn't have a cover at all,and,like I said,wanted an aluminum cover,but for less than $10.00,I can live with it.Looks aren't that important.Unless you crawl under the car,you can barely see it anyway.

The rear mount fill plug is a nice touch. That'll be a lot easier to get to than the factory plug.

True. You should have tapped a drain plug in there!

Thanks guys.No drain plug.Considering how seldom one changes the diff. fluid (mine is new),replacing the cover seal is no big deal.
