In news:2gamsrFm8ltU1@uni-berlin.de,
Paul Calman from <spam@trap.com> was injured because:

| I'd be a lot more interested in a test where it is slammed
| into a rock at 5 MPH with the weight of a vehicle behind
it. I
| don't see many sledge hammers on the trail

As if that won't harm a standard diff cover...

> As if that won't harm a standard diff cover...

Sure it will, A steel cover will flatten against the ring gear, then a smal
hole gets worn through it. You can bang a steel cover back unto shape, and
epoxy/solder/weld the holes. My rig came with finned aluminum covers. They
are on the garage wall, untill I find someone who wants them for street use.
