9-bolt Borg Warner Cover

Anyone have any idea who makes a nice differential cover for the 9-bolt BW rears? I'd like to get something better than the stock one. Thanks for any help!

I have looked, but have not found. You could have one made, but that would cost serious $$$. Sorry I was no more help.

I looked around for a few days and finally ended up sandblasting the old one and putting it on with some blue RTV sealant (non gasket). Has not leaked at all in 2.5 years.

Thanks, appreciate the input. Guess I'll have to keep the boring stock cover then, sigh.

You could always take it off and have it chromed just to be different.

Chrome? Nah, don't have chrome anywhere else on the car as I prefer the industrial look of billet, aluminum or semi-gloss black for the undercarriage and engine bay. It's amazing to me though, that cast aluminum covers w/internal braces have never been made for the 9-bolt rear. I suppose that stands as a testimonial to the strength and rugged design of the Borg Warner.
