Seriously, that is a sweet looking ride and looks like a ton of fun! George |

Mike:
I saw a speedster replica at the local "toy store" with a 3.2. Hence there must be a way to do it. They were asking over 30k.  It was fully prepped for the track. That must be a hoot! I would love to have one to toy around in. George |

Keeps the diff from shifting and blowing out the side.
There was a thread on the same subject with 915s awhile ago....early ones had some issues and the later ones had beefed up ones.

Yes, I've seen the early/late stock side covers. But that one looks like it was machined (?) Did you make it yourself? Or where did you get it?
Also what model # trans or year trans are you using? Thx.
