Rear End Girdle.

86bluecobra · Apr 7, 2007

Thinking of buying a rear end girdle. (diff cover with preloads for bearings)
Which one should I go out and buy?
Ford Racing?
Trick Flow?
Moroso?
Summit Racing house Brand?
TA?
Which one do you own and how do you like it?

there all a copy of the ta cover.

funny you should say that I was just searching ebay motors and I came across the TA girdle.

4G-KDMP · Apr 7, 2007

the rest are a spin off of the ta cover.

I have the Summit Brand, they were out of the Trick Flow Girdle when I placed my order so they gave me that one instead, I like it. I did have to grind down one of the support ribs as a bolt would not fit in.

I have a summit one. Exact same as the Trick Flow girdle. Nice piece. I like it a lot.

The trickflow girdle looks like it has long studs that are the perloaders. The Ford Racing and moroso look like they have allen key studs with a nut locker. Is this the case?

the FRPP has allen key studs that have a large flat landing on a ball and socket that is the actual part that preloads the caps.and a hex locking nut. nice piece comes with mounting hdw(not stainless). doesn't have magnetic fill and drain plugs like some

86bluecobra · Apr 8, 2007

Ok now that I have asked which is better and I guess i'm getting the answer that they are all the same besides the fact you get a fill and drain plug in the rear which i really like what is it going to do for me. Why do you need to load the bearings? Does this prevent damage to the gears themselves?

Roland69 · Apr 9, 2007

I was going to buy one just for the drain plug.....I would change my diff fluid way more often just cause it would be alot quicker.

ronburgundy · Apr 9, 2007

you load the bearings, because under launch if a cap goes, your carrier gets spit strait back. the girdle supports this area some. besides, the girdles look so cool you're sure to gain at least 10 hp lol.

I thought the 10HP was from the stickers that come with it.

ronburgundy · Apr 9, 2007

lol. 15 if they're yellow stickers. remember, yellow = horsepower.

86bluecobra · Apr 9, 2007

Well I ordered the T/A girdle. Now I have to finish the rebuild.

SVT32VDOHC · Apr 9, 2007

I have one on the Cobra. Don't use it with a gasket, because it will leak. Just use good old RTV. I wouldn't wast your money though.

Shakerhood · Apr 9, 2007

I bought the Ford Racing Rubber Gasket when I ordered my Cover, it worked great!

Roland69 · Apr 9, 2007

I use "The Right Stuff" I put a nice bead around the cover and wait about an hour than fill the diff. A rubber gasket should work fine but I wouldn't waste my time with the cork ones

yes I have seen how well cork worked with my valve covers and my pan gasket. Now they are nice rubber ones. I will just use RTV silicone like I always do. It hasn't let me down yet.
