diff cover

[sunnyc123abc]

well i screwed up the fill screw on my rear 10 bolt, so i was wondering if i could make my own fill plug on the diff cover. wat i would do is drill a hole in it, and thread it for a screw. Would that be ok?

It is a bit thin. I would suggest a new cover or atleast solder in a bung.

A pipe plug needs way more than the thickness of a stock cover to seal correctly so don't even think about it. Weld a bung on and drill and tap for 3/8 NPT.

Good luck, Jeff

Mail it to my house and I'll fix for ya...

Cant re tap or re thread it? Maybe heli-coil?
I would use a bolt rather than a screw... Is it the stock cover? If so I would weld in a bung or nut. I believe thats how the one out of Summit Racing works.

You can get a brand spanking new chrome one, with a gasket form the parts store for like 25 bucks.
