RE: Diff Bolts
We have had trouble with the Diff Bolts as well. We have also had associated bolts snap on us. So it is not the bolt that is the weak point it is something else. The only difference in the diffs compared to the BJ4 is that the spring is under the thrust race on the D4 and it is on the nut side on the BJ4. I think this has something to do with it. I've also noticed that the thrust race washers on the D4 are thinner than the Associated ones and I have had two of these explode on me. I will be trying full associated hardware this weekend eg. Bolt, Thrust Washers and Spring and I will report back on how this goes.
I also read a comment on the USA thread that the US version is being released with upgraded diffs (hence the delay). I don't now how true this is as I have not been able to find any info on the Hot Bodies web site.

Michael
