Elan DP-04 diff info

Does anyone know what diff came with this car and service procedures. It's an open type with hose clamp style screws around the exterior barrel?

Thanks,
Len

Hey Glen, here are pics. There are two holes whereby grease can be added and the strap retains the grease, any specific grease type used?

So dissapointed you couldn't compete this weekend, it was like the world cup without Brazil.

Looks like the Reline CV grease, same as was used in the RFR F1000 stock open diff.

Looks like you have the original open diff. My understanding is that it came from a British Ford truck unit. I have disassembled these and the issue is keeping grease in them. Your housing has been modified to add a grease port. I am struggling with this same question as to how to keep grease on a diff designed for slower speeds.
