I don't want to turn this into a Quaife Debate. But I've seen atleast 
two ways to do this as of late. The band around to contain the pins. 
Seems simple and effective. The C Clip version that I run was a total 
bitch and not worth talking about because I wont do it again.  I heard 
something once about bigger roll pins And then today I hear about this 
supposedly top secret method that one tranny builder is using and I want 
some opinions on this. JB Weld the ends of the pins to the diff case? 
Come on that can't really be working can it? No matter how much you 
rough up the area's the two dissimilar metals and the force of a diff 
pin ejection must just rip the JB Weld away right? Anyone seen one of 
these things in person? I don't consider any of the above a reinforment 
but more a containment issue to save the tranny case. But I gotta think 
that if the pin ejects and blows the JB Weld all over the case that 
can't be good either!
