What I just bought...

Not this one,but one just like it.I wanted a girdle for the 8.8,but I liked this cover a lot.Once it gets here along with the tubular control arms,the replacement diff with 3.73's will go in the Sport. By the looks of it in the picture,I will probably have to drill and tap a hole for a drain (that's easy enough).It looks as if there MAY be a filler cap on the top.Just thought I'd share with the class......

I wanted one that has drain and fill locations,and I'm assuming (Yeah,I know) that this one can be drilled and tapped.I'll sell my "Rockcrusher" cover I have on there now to make a little something back,plus,I have a buyer for the current diff,so,money will be made,although not much profit.Another thing I like  about it is that it's a Ford part.I like to use Ford pieces wherever I can.Sometimes it's not an option,but when it is,I'm all over it.

It'll look great until I stall the differential,then no-one will be able to see it at all.LOL. The biggest reason is I want to be able to fill and drain without removing the cover.

I've thought about a nice diff cover and then realized that no one can see the black painted one I have on there now :hick:

If the stock steel one had a fill/drain port,I'd keep it.....but it doesn't....so I'm not.LOL.

No polishing,just drilling,tapping,and installing it.Too much labor for something nobody will ever see.

I could just weld some bungs with plugs on the factory cover and hang the new on a wall in the living room.LOL.

I got it today.That thing is a nice piece of work.It has a few light scratches,but no big deal.I'll go over it with some aluminum polish......but I'm not working for a high shine,just a mid level of sweetness.I got mine a lot less than what the one on Ebay sold for (a hundred bucks),and I got it from the same guy outside of Ebay.I own a piece of a Shelby.LOL.LOL.

why not weld a bung in the stock one to drain the fluid? you can fill the diff through the vent on the pass side axle tube.
