Hi Walt
The cover was there to distinguish two types of fixing, I think it goes
something like the early cars had a diff with shims and a castellated nut
and no cover, the later cars have a collapsible spacer, nyloc nut and a
cover, the covers are available from some suppliers, bought one recently for
a Dolomite diff, think I got it from Mick Dolphin, (it was for a Sprint so
may be a different size).

| Haynes manual step 3. Remove the nut cover from the centre of the pinion
| drive flange.
|
| Question is, is this nut cover necessary? If not, then I can get it off.
If
| it is necessary, is there a trick that I am missing here, or am I just
being
| dense.
|
| Diff is on the cart awaiting oil seal replacement.
