Definitely get some pics, even if it's only ALMOST done, lol.

When I first found out the slots weren't quite right, I was ready to do something like you suggested before I decided not to. I even had the dremel in my hand, but I got scared. :002: I'll see how the temps are with the 15T before I go ruin, I mean modify, Mike's motor mount. :) If I find I need to go to a 14T, I'll have to do the modification you suggested and hope for the best.
Where would I find these gaskets? Before I made the lexan one, I looked at Tower and saw
these, but the screw holes on the one I made are VERY close to the edge of the diff compared to the pictures at Tower, so I didn't think they'd work. At any rate, I'll see if this works and go from there. Mike ought to carry some of those in the RCM store (hint hint ;)).
Right now, it doesn't look much different from pictures posted a month or so ago except for Mike's mount and the Neu mounted to it. By the time I do anything different, it'll be done anyway! So, you'll just have to wait. :) Besides, it's not like this is the first (nor the best) conversion on here...
Thanks for the suggestions!
