And, being a TVR2500, they are actually a TR6 part.

I find it hard to believe. the 2002 diff is very long & narrow. Like
about 50% longer than a big TR unit. And 75% of the width.

As I recall the 240Z unit is a bit bigger than the TR6. But I'd have to
delve into Lenny's basement to find out. There is one of each in close
