Brookhouse states SPICER DIFF COVER GASKET. FITS ALL AMAZON & P1800 MODELS, but they have a foot note which advises (YOU MUST CHECK WHICH MAKE OF AXLE YOU HAVE FITTED). Is this a contradiction if it fits ALL Amazons?

Thanks.
EP90 Hypoid gear oil is stipulated. Orpie Oils doing a reasonable deal here. I have just changed my diff and used this oil. Also replaced the Spicer Diff cover gasket from Brookhouse. Speak to Simon who will advise. Excellent service once again from Simon.
