Product description

With high engine power, more issues come to light that need to be improved and strengthened. For example, the side covers of the differential. There are enormous forces on these, so it is important not to overlook them, prevention is better than cure. In many cases, a reinforced differential is also used. The combination of a reinforced differential with the standard side covers is just crazy like a 200 hp engine combined with drum brakes, sooner or later this will go wrong.

These side covers are made of heavy duty aluminum and can handle the high forces released without any problems.

Are supplied individually.

The cover for the pendulum axle gearboxes is also equipped with a bracket for mounting the clutch outer cable, with the IRS gearboxes reuse your existing one.
