Diffs question please

[That Daddy]

If the GKN unit as the oil filler at the rear with a finned back cover(95 Chim)then what diff is the one with the filler on the O/S of end finned cover on a 94 Chim? or did they just change the location?

My '94 has the filler at the side of the diff and fins at the back. I'm pretty certain it is GKN.

BTR has the filler on the side and a smaller drain plug on the rear plate.

Hi daddy,

I'm fairly sure the GKN diff had two different rear finned covers. One with a filler on the rear and the other on the drivers side. I think the latter were of larger capacity for the the tuscan race cars, but saying that I have a 94 griffith with filler on the drivers side of the GKN diff and on the spare diff I have. Both cover types can be seen in the 2nd edition of the bible.

Thanks fellas,Oz style that makes sense i was just curious and not having my car to hand i could not compare the two,both diffs have the drain plug at the bottom in the middle so its not BTR the rear cover did seem bulkier though so makes sense about what you said about oil capacity(you would have even bigger trouble getting to the filler)i have seen three 95 Chims and they are all like mine filler on the back which tells me they are GKN units.
