Re: BMW diff cover
Cheers Kevo, gone with plan B today as fed up wasting time driving round looking, so i cut the ear off this cover and started fabbing up a steel plate with 2 chassis bushing's to sit between the diff housing and alloy case, an added result is that it will allow the diff to carry more oil! will post ...

lose the wires and move the mirrors manually, or buy the dtm style ones from demon tweeks they are cheap and fit pretty well with a bit of work,
