Next up was assembling the RCM Slipperential, and installing the RCM Muggy motor mount. Had to do a little filing of the slipper pads on this one, other than that it went together a little better than the first one. For those that are going to get a slipperential - just prior to mounting the small end cap, screw the tightening ring down. It will help to make sure you dont get the cap on slightly crooked. I thought I had it all together and went to adjust the ring to the initial setting, and it wouldn't budge. I think I may have stripped out the threads on the ring as I was attempting to tighten it. Anyway, I pulled the cap off, screwed the ring down, and replaced the cap and it went together correctly this time.

The new Muggy motor mount is anodized black - unfortunatley, I dont think they oversized the bearing hole to account for the anodizing. I had to use my dremel and a sanding drum to remove the anodizing to get it to fit the bearing. Its got a tad bit more "slop" than I really want, but I dont think it will be bad.
