Gents,

The original Cobra differential didn't have a crush sleeve. (Not sure about his unit, I'd have to see it). The inner pinion race are shimmed to the correct depth and then the pinion flange is torqued down to something like 250 foot pounds (if I remember right, I can find the correct torque if anyone is interested).
