More lightweight parts to keep the differential in place
Oh noesss....
The lower bars are great pieces by the way.
Neat chunk of aluminum.
Could have been made even lighter though!
The stock part uses the I-beam shape for a reason: the part sees a considerable bending load. That's why the cast part is hollowed out in the middle to form at 'I' section.
The machined Al part could be designed the same way for even more weight reduction.

It could also be lighter by designing it to use a shorter bolt that mounts onto the car.
David, when are we going to see a billet aluminum (or cast if you have a good foundry setup) rear diff pumpkin???
Never going to see a rear differential made of aluminum from us.
Yes, the part could be lighter, it is less than 1/2 the weight of the stock part. I want the parts we make to be light but I also want to make sure they don't fail or are weaker than the stock parts they are replacing.

Excuse me for being noob...but isn't it will add stress to the drivetrain without those rubber bushings???
I'd like to have this and the mustache bar. Will it cure the clunk noise on my diff?(everytime I put load on it)
