Ford Performance vs. ARB vs. Other Rear Differential Cover

[ThunderFlash]

That’s cool! It’s priced reasonably, that branding looks like it easily comes off, and that drain plug design looks like it might actually fully drain unlike ARB and others… could be wrong about that hard to confirm from the pic.

That drain situation looks to be an improvement on the ARB drain config. They have 10 fasteners, 2 double ended studs for the two locations where the brake line attaches. What are the two bushings and longer fasteners for? Maybe if you want to use a rubber coated metal clamp to mount the brake line instead of the OEM plastic clip thing?

I'm happy with the FP cover.

I have been considering getting the FP cover with points. What is the purpose of the two 'fill plugs'? Also, is that

The upper plug is an inspection port

Update. Fit and finish was great. I did reuse factory gasket. Order longer bolts and filled w/75w-140. ?Def recommend Factory Ten. Can't beat the price.

Did the Factory Ten not come with appropriately sized bolts? I was looking at buying this one. Does the drain plug look like it will drain 100% of the fluid or leave some like the other brands?
