Im waiting! I want to see one in Ti as well it might force me to put one in mine too My replacement ones are 11.4lbs, OEM 10.4lbs wonder what the Ti one would weigh?
Here are some pics sent to me this week from a TR. Not sure if they had any symptom like a vibration or noise but this is what they found! Very lucky to catch it at this stage.

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. Jim S.
I sent him an email asking for details, ill post once I hear from him. Kinda blows the theory of infant mortality eh?
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.
No symptom boys and girls. Engine was out for a service and they happened to look at the diff! Lucky guy!
This could make you wake up in a panic. I wonder if you could see this by simply removing the side covers?
No kidding on that one, Jim! I don't know how that thing stayed together from what I saw in the pictures. W
Bump, for the most recent diff failure..... Do you have any more left, Paul?? When is the next run? You'll be RICH I tell ya!!!! RICH!!!!!!
That's just a bad approach to be welding at that juncture, hats off to Newman's thoughful design.....a recent poster just had the failure in HI, so I topped up this thread.....
Well I'm the guy who just had the failure in paradise. Please Mr. Newman may I have one of your pretty creations?
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. Image Unavailable, Please Login
