Apparently ford wont sell just the rear diff plate!! Only the whole center. Wreckers wont separate the housing. Does Anyone know where I might find one around the Gold coast Brisbane area? Used is OK. Is getting it heli-coiled a good option?

He has sent for an engineer to have a look and quote it. He wants to strengthen it some how as tells me he thinks the car will break it again as it has a lot of power. Anyone ever heard that before?
