mx5 diff problems

[baz-r]

cant say im a great fan of the mx5 diff design and the way works in 7 kits.

i have looked at both the mx5 redesigns and if it was me i would be going down the talon/voudu one if i had to build one of the two.
i dont like the way the other one is designed

stress is under estamated in diff areas and even some of the pro's got it worng

How are they doing?

Has anybody bought a Talon mx5 diff cover ? Do they sleave the diff, or do they replace bits ?

All the cast ali cover does is hold the oil seals in place and act as an oil bath for the diff. The fabricated cover will need 2 new oil seals pushing in place and takes the standard drain/fill plugs with the vent. It also provides a 6mm thick plate with 4 M12 bolt holes that I doubt most people will be able to break in normal use.

Will it work on bolt on driveshafts?

1.6 or 1.8?

I would have thought the ends of the out put stubs would be the same as the 'push in' type,but you never know. I must confess I don't have the 'bolt on' type diff or drive stubs to look at.

When Mazda designed the Ali part of the diff with fins for cooling and size for lubrication will it not get to hot or not be lubricated enough with your design?.
