Default MX5 diff casing

During todays mid morning coffee break I put an MX5 diff in front of us and we had a little discussion as to how to mount it properly. The weakest part of the diff as others have found even used in anger in the donor is the cover/rear mounting arms. Given that it appears to be made of low grade cast ali we came to the conclusion that the rear casting is too brittle to use as is. Out came the impact gun and the casting was removed for a better look, all the rear casting does in terms of the workings of the diff is hold the oil seals in place around the drive shafts. So keep an eye out for a new product from us that will solve the problem in the form of a very strong fabricated bolt on replacement part.
