Period or ace looking diff covers

[Alphabettispaghetti]

So. My life's dream 'toy' has landed.

I'm been drawing/designing a larger capacity diff cover. What I'm looking for is some inspiration of how to design the 'look'. has anyone got anything from in period?

I think this looks a little wrong

Blimey, that's a bit OTT for making a diff cover!

Thought it is was some Thunderbirds' mobile rescue call-centre.....you have an acre-site of solar-panels - yes ?

What about these with some aesthetic mods ? : https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1...AhWBxoUKHW6QCEwQjJkEegQIBhAB&biw=1920&bih=969

That’s one hell of a bit of kit.

So I want the same as you! but for an R180 STI that will fit with the moustache on an S30

Have you got a rate card?

That's a amazing bit of kit!!!!!

I have a R200 diff finned cover in storage somewhere from a Z31 300zx (like this one but not so clean) if that's what your after?

All that fuss for a pink handled Allen key? Definitely OTT!

Maybe for inspiration, not replication (won't work on an S30). Works R192 diff cover for KPGC10 Skyline GT-R:

Jason: wow, like, wow. You are a complete inspiration for all of us out here who like any form of tooling and tools apart from this is at a different level to what I can dream of. I'm jealous of you serious boys around here.

Is this a whole new business being developed here? You don’t invest in one of these for fun of it do you?! (Do you?)
