Morris,
Thanks! Yes, like you, I will be doing most of the install and some fabrication. The hole that you covered with the small piece of metal in place, is that a vent hole?
I take it that the piece of metal that you installed acts like a windage tray and keeps the
oil from splashing out of the top of the differential, right?
I am sending mine out to Drive Train Specialists in Warren, MI for new gearing, seals, etc. I all take a look at the differential when it returns and see what I can do that might be similar to yours.
In the meantime, I do need to take a welding course and look for a used welder.
Looking forward to learning more from you along the way.
Jim
