Alex Lowe Posted July 15, 2021 Report Share Posted July 15, 2021 Hi all Was hoping the collective mind would have a solution to my problem. My diff flange managed to get bent during disassembly from the car and wondered if anyone had any good ways to ether straighten it or if anyone had any that they would be willing to sell. Its of a Late Mk3 GT6 I believe a KC prefix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Clark Posted July 16, 2021 Report Share Posted July 16, 2021 That flange needs to be replaced, unlikely to be successfully straightened. Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
