*!Build of the year candidate!* Strange PNW Build: E30+Volvo
While I’m messing with other stuff and trying to round up cash for my diff rebuild I started thinking (like I always seem to do) “what can I do to upgrade this?” I looked at finned diff covers, but those prices are crazy! So I made a set of bolt on cooling fins. Will the heat transfer be the same....no, not at all. Will it actually do anything....no idea. I do know that thermal mass and conduction “could” play a part in this cooling the diff, but mostly it just kinda looks cool.
“I mustache you a question about diff fins”
Also, my thought was by thinning it out some at the mounting ears if I clip something the fins can be sacrificial and break off. Then I can just bolt another set on.

It's a new trend: Diffstach!
I have no clue if it wil do anything but am amazed at your creativity & ability.
