    HELP! anyone have any junk open diffs

    I broke a clip in the diff when working on it and need a replacement, BMW doesnt sell individual diff parts, and Dan at Diffsonline is lacking any open units right now...

    let me explain, when you take apart and pull out the carrier assembly, you unbolt the ring gear and slide it down, there is a pin there that the spider gears rotate about... this pin has an internal sprung steel clip, I need that clip, Id rather not ship an entire diff as its useless to me, annnnd i realize that this leaves the owner with no use for their diff... so im between a rock and a hard place... any help? I took apart an early model diff today to see that these use roll pins, so that rules out 85 model diffs

        How bout an open 2.79 off the euro? It's not trash - but it's the least desireable of the bunch, so it's not worth much :) I've got an open trashed one on the auto super eta too...

                  Take a pic of that piece, I probably have it. Joe's piece is junk anyway.
