Now if Corally would sell the plastic insert seperately, you can actually drill out the old plastic unit (carefully) and replace it with a new one ... Corally - any chance that the insert can become available seperately???
I'm not sure what you mean my drill out the old plastic unit, but if you look at a undamage diff half, there is actually threads in the metal part of the diff half that the diff screw threads into right before it reached the plastic insert.
Also if you do happen to salvage a diff half that you think will still work, Call CorallyUSA and they will send you some of those black plastic pieces.
