Unfortunatly, no. The only aftermarket cover I'm aware of it the chrome stock style cover that Jim Carter (and perhaps others) has.

That is too bad. They offered to donate one. Thanks for the reply.

Update: YOURCOVERS thinks they may have a cover even though it's not listed on their site. They would like to know the model of the differential and see a picture. Ours is currently at a shop and so I can't get to it for a photo. Does anyone have a photo and the model number?

go to page 6 It is a ten bolt cover and the ratio for the differential is 4:10 Depending on what you are building, many guys choose to keep the rear housing and install the 3:55 ring and pinion from Patrick's for better freeway driving

The ring gear is 9 3/8". As mentioned, it is a 10 bolt round cover.

Do you still need a photo, as I could get one for you tomorrow?
I do like those covers, the black with the fins is cool.
I might be contacting them myself.

Thanks for the offer, but I think we've got it covered.
