CKD0350 – KAOS CNC METAL DIFFERENTIAL COVER (RED ANODIZED) – Q/MT/DL SERIES
The CEN Racing CKD0350 KAOS CNC Metal Differential Cover is a red-anodized differential-cover upgrade for CEN Q-Series, MT-Series and DL-Series vehicles. CEN lists CKD0350 as a 1-piece KAOS upgrade and shows the component both by itself and installed on the axle housing.
CONFIRMED PRODUCT DETAILS
- Manufacturer: CEN Racing
- Product line: KAOS
- Part number / SKU: CKD0350
- Product type: CNC metal differential cover
- Finish: Red anodized
- Quantity: 1 piece
- Compatibility: CEN Q-Series, MT-Series and DL-Series
WHAT THE DIFFERENTIAL COVER DOES
The differential cover closes the axle housing around the differential assembly and forms part of the protective outer structure around the ring-and-pinion/differential area. Correct seating is important because the cover must align with the housing without introducing distortion or interference around the internal drivetrain components.
CNC METAL CONSTRUCTION
CEN identifies CKD0350 as a CNC metal differential cover with a red-anodized finish. GASHEAD RC does not assign a specific alloy grade, hardness, impact rating, rigidity increase or weight comparison because CEN does not publish those engineering values for this part.
Q / MT / DL SERIES COMPATIBILITY
CEN explicitly lists CKD0350 for Q-Series, MT-Series and DL-Series applications. That broad manufacturer-listed fitment makes this one of the KAOS axle upgrades shared across multiple CEN solid-axle platforms. Verify the exact axle housing and current differential-cover arrangement before installation if the vehicle uses aftermarket axle parts or a custom housing.
INSTALLATION & SERVICE NOTES
- Clean the axle-housing mating surface before installing the cover.
- Inspect the differential housing, gears and bearings for debris or visible damage while the cover is removed.
- Seat the cover squarely before tightening fasteners.
- Tighten mounting screws evenly rather than fully tightening one side first.
- Rotate the drivetrain by hand after installation and verify there is no binding or abnormal resistance.
- Recheck the cover and mounting hardware after the first runs, especially after impacts or hard off-road use.
CUSTOMER-REPORTED EXPERIENCE
CEN's official CKD0350 product page currently shows four customer reviews, including positive comments about the upgrade and its appearance. These are customer-reported impressions, not measured manufacturer performance data, so GASHEAD RC does not present them as quantified durability or strength gains.
PACKAGE CONTENTS
CEN confirms CKD0350 as a 1-piece differential cover. Product imagery shows the cover together with mounting hardware, but CEN's public text does not provide a complete fastener-by-fastener inventory. GASHEAD RC therefore does not publish unverified screw sizes or hardware counts.
MANUFACTURER DATA NOT PUBLISHED
CEN's current CKD0350 listing does not publish the metal/alloy grade, cover thickness, machining tolerances, anodizing specification, fastener size, recommended torque, total weight, sealing specification or quantified strength/rigidity comparison with the standard cover. Those values are intentionally not estimated or invented.
Manufacturer title, one-piece quantity, red-anodized finish, Q/MT/DL-Series compatibility and product imagery were checked against CEN Racing's official CKD0350 listing and KAOS catalogs. Product specifications and packaging may be revised by the manufacturer without notice.
