Overview
Made from 356-t6 cast aluminium, these girdles incorporate a reinforced crossbar. The crossbar houses the load bolts that apply pressure to the bearing caps. This feature, along with the thick casting, prevents bearing cap deflection under severe loads. Which in turn greatly reduces or eliminates (in most cases) bearing cap fatigue and failure.
Specifically designed to add support to the bearing caps under severe loads and acceleration, these girdles substantially strengthen the rear end. They also add fluid capacity, which helps to lower the fluid temperature. Comes with drain and fill plugs for easy maintenance.

Customer Reviews
- Nice piece. By Tony. (posted on 31/12/2025)
- This is a good quality diff cover that also adds strength and good looks to your old Val's rear end. It should be stated in the ad on website that this comes with a diff cover gasket so you don't (like me) buy an additional gasket. But hey, I suppose it doesn't hurt to have a spare.
