[Fot] Diff Fluid Level

[Dave]

Yes, Hardy and I discussed his large washer like Teflon baffles that are placed outside of the carrier bearings and the axle shafts slide through them.  They are slightly, loosely made to float in place and help to keep the gear oil in the diff and not flowing down the axle tubes during cornering.  
I purchased and 12"x12"x 1/8" sheet of Teflon from McMaster-Carr to make them.

Jack Wheeler taught us to use some custom plastic (PVC?) washers around the shafts.  They were not seals, as such, but did discourage the splashing by a good 90% (+/-).  After we started using them, the underside of the car was much cleaner after an event.  Not difficult to make.  Wheeler said that it was Hardy Prentice who tipped him off to the practice.
