Subject: 2 gt6 questions
1) the support for the differential has a hole on each side of the diff
and
what are they for???
2) on top of the rear portion of the casing is a small plug looking like
a
miniature freeze plug. There is a hole in it and a cotter pin in it
(pressure relief??) Is this normal or DPO.

Arthur,
I just had my 72 tr6 diff off for some emergency mount repairs and
noticed the plug with the cotter pin in it too. I too thought it was a
DPO repair. After looking in the "Bible" ( Bently), there it was in one
of the illustrations. I believe it to be a breather but it sure looks
like an ideal way to allow dirt and moisture to enter.
