I`m trying to find the Orange Serpent colour (limited stock of paint in the shops here in Norway).
I`v bought 5 different ones, and they all are awful.

Can anybody guide me to the correct colour.....

when assembling them, diff fluid gets in the tubes where the screws go, and fills them up, and when the cases compress, if you have the pulley on it, a fair bit of diff fluid gets caught up. i really think its a weapage of the diff fluid coming out around the screws, and leaks down to the joint if left sitting for a while in one spot. i have used sealant on the diff o ring, and i try to clean out the pulley screw side of oil, as i think it compresses so much and stresses the plastic tubes as well when fitting the remaining screws for the pulley. Just my thaughts , regards, Patto.

To make sure ur diffs don't leak be sure the screws don't touch because the screws will push the housings apart if they are too long.
