what brad/who made the diff cover??


Summitt.  Now a bad peice and came with ARP hardware.


I machined the logo off and was going to laser etch MUSTANG across it...but I wanted to get the rear in the car and didn't have time to take it to work and etch.  Would have looked cool though.

lol after reading the first line i was gonna say that i thought they had their logo machined into theirs.. but then saw in the next line that you machined it off...

how was it when you went to fill.. i noticed you had the fill and drain holes.. i always end up using the ones in the side of the pumpkin.. which are a pain imo to use cuz they dont give ya the room to turn the bottles upside down alot of times around it..

Filling is easy.  I have a pump that you basically screw onto the bottle and pump the handle and the fluid pumps in in seconds.  I can fill my diff in about 5 mins and stay clean doing it.  Got it at advanced auto.  Works awesome.   


I actually have 2 pumps.  One for diff fluid changes, and the other for trans fluid changes. Makes it a hell of a lot easier

ahh... i tried one of those pump things once... they didnt work for me... spent more time pumping it than it did sending anything through... now all i do anymore is snip the tops of those "filler neck caps" that come on them and feed it in.. sometimes ill use a hose stuck onto the end of it if i dont have the room to have the bottle there..

I wonder what the guys that have/had wheel hop have for a set up. Hatch, notch, battery in hatch, NOS bottle in back, rear seat eliminator, coil overs, street slicks stick or AT?

I have MM coil-overs with Bilsteins, Torsen T2R, 3.73 gears.  Now that I think about it, I still had a bit of wheel hop with the coil-overs installed.  I have had none since a project where I did alum flywheel, alum PP, alum driveshaft, McLeod clutch, Torsen T2Rm Motive 3.73 gears, and Alloy 31-spline axles.  Not sure what in that combination made it go away, but I'd put my money on the Torsen.  But the coil-overs did get rid of any and all body roll, so it's probably the combination of that and the Torsen.

TFS has a similar diff cover (with their logo, of course) that I have.  It's easy to fill.  I got it from Summit!  Grin
