If it is just a friction fit I think you could whip the top and bottom off with a cutting wheel in a grinder and bung it back in once prettied up?

It’s screwed in
Mark said it a cooling tower and the top parts been bashed off
That’s why it looks chewed

I think you could grind off the chewed up bit. I have seen them with coolers before.

Hey Tim, ever got your car done with the new rear setup?
I'm curious to hear what you have to tell
Especially the combination of solid diff hanger and solid beam mounts

Thanks for your feedback Caddyshack! I started considering getting the diff mount from Anembo and their various inserts and change to see the difference (poly, nylon, solid alum), could be interesting comparison!
Any differences between the different suppliers of diff mounts or solid bushings for the rear beam mounts?
I even saw some American guys have welded in their solid "mounting points" to their rear beams, not really a bushing any more that way maybe a little hardcore tho

I would go poly in the billet rear mount if you can. I think MK makes the anembo ones and the beam mounts.
