    possible to get replacement differential tag?

    I am wondering whether it is possible to get a replacement differential tag. My diff has been cleaned, serviced, and painted, but the 3.73S tag is completele illegible. I'd like to put on a new tag, just in case I ever decide to sell it.
    Are replacement tags available?

    The IPB doesn't show that as a replacement part. So I guess you'd have to find a tag off a dead differential. Or make a new tag out of a strip of aluminum and stamp the info into it.

    A missing tag isn't a big deal. The ratio is easy to prove as 41 turns of the input flange will result in 11 turns of an output shaft. And if you hold one output flange and attempt to turn the other flange there will be resistance before the input shaft turns. Depending on the condition of the clutches, it take as much as 65ft-lb of torque to rotate on flange with the other locked.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.
