I have no intention of building my aluminum Batwing differential, and I have a 79 diff ready should it grenade.

But I wonder if the source of these "billet main caps" is the same company that you are dealing with.

I'm betting the D44 cap upgrade is for the Jeep crowd and not the Vette , the case itself is weak on the Vette and would be the next weak point after a cap upgrade , D44's are common in Jeep Cherokee's and at the 4wd jamboree crowd
