The issue is further compounded by the diff shaft wallering out the cup sleeve from the inside until it becomes brittle enough to snap; this has been my experience with a turned down stock cup. With a steel sleeve this problem doesn't exist. Just my opinion.
alloy might not be that strong thinned down... but dont plenty of diffs use 8x16x5mm bearings.. .so why cant the savage? Also it will be going in my alloy diff cases so less flex in the diff area can only be better for it?

Im just worried that if i try the lightning diff cup, the internals i have wont fit...
