    I'm still hoping the USD will come back. Then, count on an order for 3 in Ti!

    Paul - those are very revealing photographs. Disconcerting. Might, just might, make one a believer. Would be interesting to learn more about what led to removal.

    Those pictures are scary.

    I would one of your carriers but can't pick it up until later this year from the looks of it. Hope there is one left by then.

    This could make you wake up in a panic.

    I wonder if you could see this by simply removing the side covers?

    Yes you may, email me.

    I have photos of another diff that failed around the bearing support rather than at the perimeter like most and it was in a 79 boxer. I was surprised to see it broken clean off at the cheek, ill see if I can get permission to post the pics.

    Interesting break point, looks pretty thin where the bearing support meets the carrier. Someone should take a cross-section of one of these just to see how the end is made. Its always looked to me like its the support, the disk then the carrier all welded together to make one piece. Ignore the lumpy bearing.
