In your picture, there is a gold "hub". In my application, the hub is bolted to the flywheel and the u-joint 4 bolts bolt directly to it. So, yes, its direct to the flywheel. Metal to Metal. The key to these boxes is to get the carrier aligned with the driveshaft and keep it good and tight. Once its dialed in they last many years. There is a company that makes that gold coupler out of a polymer called Globe Products - but I never got around to installing one.

There’s shims that go between the carrier and the box, if it’s currently assembled, check it with an alignment tool and see where it’s at..... it one of those things that should only have to be done during the initial assembly when it was new.

Those aren't original from Stellings. I drilled holes in the bottom of mine and installed plugs in them just in case water was to get in there. It woould be a real PITA to get it out of there. I dont know if I'd be comfortable with those caps on there without safety wore or something on them?
