Would you care to clean off the diff stamp a little further to the left of the BU. Curious if it has a peened “C”. Thanks & congrats.

Checked out the diff this morning and removed a little more paint toward the strap and there was no C to be found. There are some marks that look like it could of been peened over from the factory. Is this where the C was sometimes found on late differential housings?


BU Stamp dated October 28th. Housing is clean with no rust or pitting.

That's correct. Sometime in July I believe they started with the "C". Mine is an 08D and it has the C. It seems like yours should have it being so late. It does look like it could have been peened over for some reason like you said. That 5 looks interesting too. I haven't seen that before.
Here's what mine looks like.

Yes. This is what I suspected. It is what I believe to have been originally stamped with a C and then peened. Small timeframe that this happened but it jives with what data I have collected. Thank you for reporting back.




Finally had a chance to come back to this:
For the record the stamp is legit. It is to this point the latest that I have that is peened.

I know you are trying to put everything back correctly and detailing your engine compartment. I can't see it in your pictures. Do you have this bracket on your carb base to fuel line. Should be on later built cars, hard to find and expensive. Just curious. Beautiful car!!
