theyre hardy spicer joints, but not sure those dif covers will be suitable for a rod change box

"Turbo's make torque, and torque makes fun"

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

Minispares sell the diff covers with the proper flange. They're told to be power sapping compared to the pots, but I really like them.

If you buy a new diff cover for a rod box, I'll be interested in one of those

i found them in a box with some of my turbo bits i had in hibernation

i dont know when or where i got these joints but if they could be used in a turbo application i'll keep them, i think the driveshafts are differant too are'nt they, i dont have those though!

if they cant be used on a turbo for whatever reason ebay will get them more than likely

They look identical to my dads on his cooper S.

That's because they are the same

THey use regular old rubber joint driveshafts. Remember that these need special output shafts from the diff as well.

i have some NOS rubbers too! are they worth selling on or is there not much all for them?

How many members have bust a pot joint?

I have, but slicks and a lot of landing after being on 2 wheels are to blame.

Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

I have pot joints, no problems.......yet!

There are two three types of diff flange that look like these
1) The pictured ones are Cooper S and some early automatics
2) The automatic only ones have no bolt in the middle and slide on the shaft just like pot joints with an internal circlip
3) LSD ones which again have no bolt but are integral with the splined diff output shaft.

Cooper S ones have a larger outer diameter

I stand corrected. You should know

well in my hap-hazard fashion i've looked in an issue of "keeping your mini alive" lol & i think mine are cooper s shafts, seem to be favoured by the racers apperently!

just have to think what to do with um!
