Oh I'm so jealous of that finned alum diff cover!
BUT, a more practical question...do you think the most oil capacity, or dir=
ected internal oil dispersion is more important. (Already using RedLine hea=
vy shock proof oil).
Some history...
The Duke of Oil, our 4A has melted a set of the poly mounts (see a previous=
 pic someone else submitted...same deal here) in=C2=A0 a normal sprint race=
. So, diggin thru the pile-o-parts I find I have an early one piece TR6(?) =
diff cover that is pretty much a square reservoir in the back (the oil rese=
rvoir area looks about like the reservoir on the 2 piece 4A diff cover), an=
d another later (?) one piece cover that directs the oil flingin around in =
the diff toward the ring gear and has more fins on it. However, the later m=
ore heavily finned unit holds about 8 ounces less fluid, but it directs the=
 oil directly onto the gear and has those additional fins.

I would really like to skip the oil pump and cooler setup in the back of th=
e car, but may have to go that way anyhow.

BUT,
Has anyone had any experience with running the later, smaller oil capacity =
but more finned and directed oil units? And how would it compare to the lar=
ger open chamber cover?

If not, who has installed a pump and cooler back there? What did you use fo=
r a cooler and where did you put the outlet and inlet on the diff...and why=
?

Usually in hot water myself...this time oil!
