diff cover studs

[fuelscrew]

Would there be any benefit other than the gasket staying put during installation

None

 

[fuelscrew]

Didn't think so but figured id throw it out there

Studs might even make it more difficult to remove the diff cover to service the internals. They can be a pain as it is with no bolts retaining it...let alone with studs. You also don't NEED the gasket, but everyone does things differently. Like Brad said, no advantage whatsoever.

Ya it would LOOK kewl though it would server no distinct increase in performance or provide an advantage other than what you said and the others too about more difficult to remove.

I was just brain storming cause im getting my aluminum cover in the morning and thought it would look cool with studs

 

[fuelscrew]

I think im gonna try it out

 

[flareside_thun]

If you're using one of them aluminum covers with the drain and fill plug on em...DO IT! That would look killer. A little detail sure...but when people notice it, they'll think it's cool.

 

[fuelscrew]

Its the stock aluminum one but im gonna see if there is enough room for a drain plug to be added to it I have access to plugs at work and im gonna paint it black and the clean the fin edged to make it look like a mag tech

Stainless allen head bolts are the way to go

 

[fuelscrew]

Thought about those too but I've never seen studs

Studs would look pretty cool, but I'm with Russ, allen head bolts are awesome.
