The rear casting on the mx5 diff is actually pretty poor in terms of stregnth, it weighs less than 1 kilo and when inspected, there are large air bubbles within the alloy, you could drop one from less than a meter and shatter it to bits. The only ones that are stronger are the smooth cased castings used on some of the early viscous diffs which are crap in comparison to the torsens, they are rare as rocking horse shit though, iv heard of the drift boys paying £250 just for a case to fit to locked torsens

As I stated in my earlier post, have you not mounted through the fixings on the side of the Iron part of the diff assembly where the PPF mounts to? This is the strong part of the diff - the two rubber mounts on the wings are just to stabilise side to side motion of the powerplant assembly which in the donor vehicle is two rubber mounts on the engine at one end and two on the diff at the other end. If you mount the diff only through the rubber mounts then you'll just keepp tearing them out.
