Question about car to BEC diffs conversions
Not being really into BEC's, is this conversion of a sierra one into chain drive going to last? Seeing that it is now out in the open without
its oil bath...
Is it just assumed that the loading is now so low that wear is not really an issue? and could a sierra LSD survive this?

Its normal to put a pot over that open bit and put some grease in it

mango is correct.
Have a look at the oil/grease cans on these conversions

Don't think a dry diff would last very long even in a lightweight car.

Yeah they are a bit heavy and agricultural but the BEC guys just have to put up with that

Thats my diff bud (well now belongs to ChrisG) the side were welded over and a small plug fitted and the diff was filled with grease.
