hi,

just wanted to see what you all think about welding a diff guard and diff brace onto my front diff......will i need to completly strip the diff or will it be alright to just drain the oil out of it and do small beads with the mig and let it cool inbetween?? I dont want to ruin any seals or anything.

I'm looking at doing it today so any advice would be great.

thanks.

If I remember correctly some blokes have commented on this saying leave the oil in to act as a cooling mechanism.

If you hit some thing strong enough to bend that, the car's fucked from the impact ! :roll:

Don't fucking care my friend. It is a great mod and it has saved Casper's front diff in comps more than I can remember. :wink:
