Diff Guard Fitted: Pics

Some more eye candy My new front diff guard fitted today. It is a galvanised one from Paddocks but I decided to paint it black to smarten it up a bit (Why is it that every time I buy a galvanised part from England the galvanising finish is so rough???)

I got someone to lend a hand fitting it as these things are tight! With a combination of brute strength, a crowbar and the good old dishwashing liquid we got it fitted. I'm quite pleased with the result.

As you can see from the pictures of the diff, it had taken a knock in the hands of a previous owner so I thought it would be prudent to put on a guard as the diff casing metal has probably been weakened from the impact.

from the picture looks like it is holed. you check the grease level

No, it is not holed, the underseal has just flaked off from the area around the dent.

I just had a proper look at the photo of the guard - even in the photo you can see the rough finish of the galvanising under the paint
