The Inside of the M Coupe Diff Cover

This is the inside of the M Coupe differential cover. The main feature here is shown by the red arrow. This is the baffle that covers up the vent pin-hole and prevents diff fluid from spilling out of the differential casing during spirited driving. I am not sure yet how well it will work. But the standard E30 cover did not do a very good job of keeping the fluid contained during track events so I have little to lose. The baffle is steel and is riveted onto the cover. I sincerely hope the rivets do not decide to let go some day because that would in all likelihood spell the end of my ring and pinion.

Someday I would like to remove the baffle and drill and tap the pin hole for a nice barbed fitting (maybe 3/8" ID) so that I can run a hose to a catch tank.
