Supra Rear Diff Billet Cover
Back in December B13 Jus got in touch with me and asked if i could make him a billet rear cover that would incorporate both rear pieces, at the time i only had 2.5d cad so was unable to design it the way he wanted. But with me upgrading to 3d and now having a better understanding of cad i thought i would give it a go.
Now his a Lovely Lad but hey he doesn't know how to use a ruler, the measurements he give me i took to be true as i didn't have a diff to measure, anyways i ordered material thinking all would be good to find out he was 5mm short on the length and 1.5" to high on the thickness
Said Material
So over the last week ive been keeping my head down working away on this, this is a prototype and still needs a lot doing, another day should see it finished. Im going over to Justins with it on Monday to try it in the car and then i will travel on down to Bara Motorsport as he will check it over to make sure all is well.
Hope you guys enjoy the pictures.

I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
Well done, the 1st thing I thought when I read about the other billet cover was why not incorporate it all into one.
I then had another thought, how difficult would it be to design / make a complete alloy diff casing i.e. so you could take the internals from the cast iron supra casing and fit them into it, and which also incorporated the adaptions required into it so it was a simple bolt in option with no bolt on adapters? (obviously the prop and drive shaft adapters would still be required)
I believe the cast iron supra diff itself is 20kg heavier than a 7.5" Ford diff, and thats without the addition of the fitting kit.

Hi Steve, i showed Bara the process of it being machined and he said its spot on as it is,
Well this morning i set of bright and early and went to Bara Motorsport to have him check over the cover, he was very impressed with it and give it the thumbs up.
