[QUOTE="RedVenom48, post: 15011424, member: 166576"] [b]Ghetto rigged![/b] [ATTACH]50572.vB[/ATTACH] So here is my poor mans creation. I took the DR3Z-4022-A kit hose and traced a hole around the cap of a used and cleaned bottle of brake fluid. Using a Dremel I cut the hole and installed the hose right on through. Sealed it up with Ford diff seal maker and let it dry. I then installed the included nipple to replace the vent. Once the hose assembly was dry I tried a few different positions and found I could ziptie the bottle to the upper control arm. As the diff and the arm will always be stationary relative to each other and the ground, I though this to be the best point to mount it. The bottle as it is located doesnt move, and clears the body as the diff assy articulates. Raced it at an event last night and NO gear oil touched the ground. I poked a few vent holes on the other side of the bottle and did observe a little seepage. This tells me that there is a lot of fluid that gets flung up out of these diffs. I may make a modified bottle with a vent hole and hose and eliminate any fluid escaping. If so pics will follow. I know that my assembly will not allow the fluid to drain back into the diff. Honestly, not worried about it staying in the bottle. Whats lost is not even really that much and I assume whats getting to the bottle isnt even nearly as much as what came out with the vent on the diff cover itself. In about a month Ill remove the bottle and see whats actually in there. :D Hooray! More money for go fast parts and I wont slick down the track! [/QUOTE]
