The weird thing about that diff. is it's welded together. Mike at Rancho said some guy cut one open to do a repair but in the end he just replaced it. I guess it's intended to be a throw-away. Yup, I like shiny and in a Spyder, that transaxle is right there in your face when the clam is open so I decided to shine it up. The firewall is just dark and dank looking as well so I made a complete stainless steel, engine turned cover for it. Greg had to get me the firewall piece from his factory in Baja Mex. I formed the stainless sheet over that and gave it all back to Greg. He will install it before the body goes on and secure it with polished SS acorn nuts. I still had half a sheet of the stainless left over from the firewall I put in my Speedster. At $600.00 per 4' X 8' per sheet you don't waste it. I'm thinking about making a polished aluminum box to install in the rear adjacent to where the battery is. I'd like to store some tools and a scissors jack there. The nice thing is I have had the time to think up all this stuff.
I can't remember, when is the SLO event this year ? It would be nice if I can drive it up there this year as the maiden voyage !.........Bruce
