25 With no oil. 30 For a heavy TA03 one. M05 ball diff is lighter (and smoother) but needs some work to keep its settings right.
FYI .. the oil gear diff is 25g WITH OIL . The M05 ball dif is around 18g so 7 g is hardly a problem.
For all your comments have you actually run an oil gear diff in your Mini?
I doubt it
Lets see .. at TITC in Thailand all the worlds best like Groskamp etc what did they use in their Minis and FWD cars ??????? ....... gear diffs because they pull better out of corners
