just recieved a nice HD diff cover for my 44. I have not installed or tested it yet.
pics for those interested. looks like pure beef. i got the cheapest ones he offered. he also has some super beefy ones with a extra 1/2" rock ring on top of the 1/4" plate and recessed bolt holes for about $30 more
they all come with "rough finish" unground welds, weld splatter present and no bolts are included
looks like a good option other than the crane cover @ ~170 or BTF covers @ $140
it was $95+ ship which was actual UPS shipping ($15)

D44 diff cover

inside

i used a angle grinder with a flap disc to clean the splatter up, then i went back and did the inside a second time just in case
for the paint i used a cold galvanizing zinc paint followed by some bling silver rustoleum (did not know it had that ghey glitter in it)
i'll be running grade 8 hex bolts (5/16" x1") and regular washers (dont think ill need lock washers?)
oh, and for the CRANE lovers
D30 will be running this http://img157.exs.cx/img157/6436/d30_1770.jpg
