anyone ever make their own diff cover?

so i was cutting the steel to make my rock ring, and i thought about how was going to bend the flat stock to protect the ring gear. then thought about trussing that, then one thing lead to another and i realized it would be easyer to just make a new cover out of like 3/8 plate. any thoughts? my only concern is that it will be hard to prevent the gasget surface from warping when i weld all the other crap on.

We bolt ours to a chunk of 2" thick steel plate having drilled and tapped the plate for the cover bolt pattern we are using. This prevents warpage to the flange.

Greg has started looking into making some. The whole cover would be a rock-ring type thickness, if not thicker with countersunk bolts. Not sure on production time, try giving him a PM.
