Thanks for the tip.
The inserts I had in mind was for supporting the pins for the spider gears, not for the output shaft to ride on. I was thinking of making the entire diff cup out of 7075-T6 alu. and only the "spider-pin inserts" out of Ti, so the output shaft will ride on the alu. cup itself. Is this a bad idea?
Maybe a press fit brass sleeve in the bottom of the cup will be better?

Yes, I too am cross tightening the screws. The problem with my cups is that the surface that mates to the ring gear is not perpendicular to the axis of the metal insert in the bottom of of the cup which the bearing sits on. (probably not proper metrology jargon..
)
