Diff guards

[donkeychomp]

oh THOSE diff guards! Thought you meant a bash plate type thing...yes welded on is fine!

[Jordi]

Fairly sure Rockwatt can knock some up.

He's putting some on the axles cases he's modding for me.

If you can weld you can knock yourself up a set of diff guards out of some 4-5mm plate easily enough.

Steel, angle grinder, drill with a hole saw/cone cutter and a welder and you are sorted

Good question Anton? Tim pink fitted them when he strengthen the axles, the axle cases I bought rather than fabricated as they came up at the right price at the right time.

I'll be making my own diff guards on the next builds, along the lines of Matts but with smaller holes.

I was thinking of making a diff guard similar to yours (tim's?) but using a piece of plate across the top to stop crud getting between it and the pumpkin, and then using chemical metal to "weld" it to the pumpkin.

That way I wouldn't have to wash it out. I was going to make a "scythe/crescent" piece to go around the fill hole so I can still get the plug out (like the notch cut in yours).

I've got some strips of metal that I bent up to the right angle, but I never got around to welding them on (or finishing them) so pipe caps seem like a good idea.
