Its actually saw dust that u put in the diff and gearbox to quieten it down. Bananas(skins) are used under the rocker cover to reduce noise in the rocker gear. Beware of grease monkeys stealing your bananas Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Guess where i worked (CAR YARD)no names mentioned!!!! And yeah me and the boss used to fill up the diffs on any car really especially if it whined and it works well for when the customers come to buy anyways. Its the biggest rort boys coz it works.(well for a small time) I bet jet-6 has come across a few in his diff jobs. carnt wait to see a comment from him about this.

Yeah I've seen this done a few times over the years. I've seen loaves of bread used to hold bog in the sills too. There are hundreds of dodgy caryard tricks out there. Scary thing is you'll never know until it's too late!
