Had to change the fluid, so I gathered some pieces of scrap steel I had lying around and made me an extremely stout and rather good looking front diff cover if I do say so myself. The front is 2 layers of 3/16" plate, the edges are single layer, the top round portion is 1/4". All welded up solid and ground smooth. I also braced the back of the side where the filler hole is.
