Get some gasket material and make it
or silicone.
I know that's not what your looking for but I doubt if anyone makes it, at least I haven't seen it | | | | | Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 | Hy PapaJ, Fel-Pro p/n RDS5050, 10 holes for the cover, p/n RDS11855, 10 hole for between the diff. and housing, that's if it has the rear end it left the factory with. If you could post some dimensions and number of holes I could possibly confirm, hope that helps. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 1,997 Big Bolt Forum Co-moderator | | Big Bolt Forum Co-moderator Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 1,997 | That gasket has come before... let me do a search and get back.

Eaton and Meritor uses it from the factory. For a quick fix 30 to 50 years ago, we used to loosen the diff a little, wrap cotton string around the whole thing 4 or 5 times and retighten the diff. It would usually hold longer than gaskets. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 | Hy PapaJ if you're looking for the axle flange gaskets, measure the outside diameter of your axle, and the number of bolts retaining them, and post that info here and I can figure it out for you, or you could just use silicone. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2009 Posts: 400 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2009 Posts: 400 | It could be splitter for the two speed that is leaking,Haven't
had a chance to clean it off yet. | | |
