Great for checking the oil level and condition, for contamination, backlash, etc. It would be interesting to see how effective the oil distribution is with various differentials too. I like the idea but suspect that it isn't going to catch on for normal vehicles.

I would rather spend the cost of the diff cover on another bottle of vintage port

I like your thinking - there is actually sound engineering principles in play if the modification helps maintenance and operation of the equipment. Additionally, who's not drawn to the cutaway mechanical parts at transport museums, especially if they have a handle you can turn?
It's very definitely not a "Kahn" thing.
So right up our street then  |
