yes alloy is a heat sink so it will not react to temp of alloy but not of the oil

I guess you could cut off the ones on the old cover as long as it can be done nicely and not look out of shape etc. It is easy to mess that sort of thing up with an Angle grinder.

Mines only there as it shouldn’t break lol. My friend snapped the top off a standard rear cover. I’m building my car as bomb proof as I can sensibly afford. It looking nice is an added bonus

if the diff casing has the threads for the bolts,then so should the cover,standard supra diff cover has them,so Toyota put them in for a reason,maybe one of you cnc boys can explain if they are needed or not before I buy one

I’m sure it’s just over 2 years ago I did the covers, I did mine for Justin with the 3dr 600hp. From memory i think them bolts holes bolt into the rear frame on a supra so with the diff going into a cossie beam I didn’t put them in.

The covers have been doing a great job 1 of mine is in a 1000hp drag car over on Germany and still going

Yes I did sell some parts to a guy who had some nice cars, he did say something about a guy with a 205 who had been saying he was investing a lot of money into mk business buying him presses and other machines, I’m guessing that’s you then who’s invested?

No, not invested in machines at all. Bought a few pulleys recently but that’s it.

I don’t have any pics but on the inside of my mt cover there are some fins machined into it, I know the early mk covers didn’t have that

Cheers Paul

I assume that is to transfer heat to the outside fins on the MT one? My mk cover is smooth on inside.

As I've been smashing the 3.9 front diff I fort I would give the 3.7 diffs a go and in the week the diff turned up it needs a good cleaning up and new oil seals and it's nice as it's never been apart

Picked my 3.9 up a few weeks ago for £250. Looks a bit scabby right now but will be fine after paint.



I will get that Weir stage 1 maxigrip kit ordered up from the states for it. Looks easy enough to install.
