I was doing some research on the CEN Racing Differentials. I like to know what it cost for an item before I start bidding on ebay items. Tower seems to have most of what is needed but when it comes to the differential case cover that goes opposite of the ring gear. All I could find was a discontinued item. I don't see anything that is listed that would replace that item. Any one familiar with these differentials that could shed some light on it for me?
Never mind.
I found the discontinued item at Cen Direct for $4.04 a peice. So I found my answer but figured I had all this down in here to ask my question. I would pass it on as an FYI.
This is what I came up with as all the items I would need to upgrade my savage to the cen diff.

If also uses the 8x16 bearins which I already have and the diff cups from the savage are used.
Here's the case cover at Cen Racing

To build a CEN GST 7.7 differential to upgrade you savage it would cost approx.
73.61 for the parts. This is not including the 8x16 bearings used and using the savage drive cups which you drill out to fit the cen diff anyways.
To build two diffs out of new parts it is
99.99. This is also with out the drive cups and bearings. Also there should be enough shims and gaskets for two in the order of one set. The part gs001 differential case also has two cases for the one part number.
