Diff cover guard install....hitting diff cover....

[jode]

So my bro gave me one of those cage-type differential guards that just bolts on over the diff cover using 5-6 of the original bolt locations. I kind figured that it would hang independently of the diff cover, but it is actually resting against the diff cover. One of the bars that goes from the hoop to the bolt flange just barely touchs the cover.....so is that the way that it is sposed to be? Or is mine defective? Anybody installed one of these B4?

It looks something like one of these, but it is not this exact model...I dunno what brand it is or where he bought it...I thought the one he gave me was the most common kind...until I tried to search it on the I-net...and could not find one that looks the same.... http://www.challengerperformance.com...cfm?prodID=124
Image not working, but look at the one on www.challengerperformance.com under the new products section.

Here is a pic of mine. It bolted in place using all the old bolt locations. I had to buy longer bolts.

Gwamp, I thknk I saw some like yours on the I-net...nice. Mine came with longer, new shiny bolts [img]smile.gif[/img]
It fit great...except for that I don't think it is sposed to be hitting the cover....I'll prolly pull it, grind it and reweld it unless someone here can confirm that it is indeed sposed to touch the diff case....

i wouldnt worry about it. whats it gonna hurt? id prolly dent the cover alittle for clearance before id grind and reweld the diff gaurd.
