Mike and Silverzuk are, I've got one that was abused for a few years by Tim pink on his racer and the shafts look fine.
Mine is going on as soon as possible.

silicone the drive flange and cap and there should be no issues. That's all that you do on a land rover axle.

Not sure on the silicone. Once the oil gets as far as the bearing it'll wash the grease out, won't it?
I presume regular stripping and greasing would be advised?

I may have to bite the bullet and order one soon.
Not sure what RWs plans are. Probably wait till i destroy the current bearings.

Re: Anybody running a RS full float?
To be honest It wouldn't be hard to add an oil seal, all you need to do is machine up a holder that goes in where the old bearing would like so, I'm pretty sure there is a good surface for a seal to run on the RS shafts there.
