The aluminum Isuzu Rodeo differential covers weren't holding up very well with the applied Hammerite paint. They seemed to be deteriorating just setting in the garage and we haven't got this thing licensed yet. I decided this would be a good X-mas gift for Jeffrey, so they were removed and sent to the Powdercoater. Decided to go with black to mimic the valve covers and then using a die grinder remove the coating on the fins. Stainless steel plugs with magnets were ordered up from McMaster Carr along with Fel pro gaskets from the local parts store. I spread a thin film of Right Stuff gasket maker on the cover, applied the gasket and laid it gasket down on a flat surface

with weight on top for a day. (I was in no hurry) Another thin film on the otherside of the gasket then fastened to the axle with stainless bolts. Topped off with some 90w gear oil and we were back in business. We had originally tried to duplicate the aluminum look, but these turned out alot nicer and should hold up very well.
