Manual Transmission Dust Covers?

Experts,

I've seen several threads but no definitive answers. I had a stock 5 speed in my 86 and have recently upgraded to a TKO 600. I had fabricated a sheet metal cover in the past but with the new application its causing a lot of noise/vibrating. Did anyone find a location to buy these?? In Summit I just see the Auto Transmission covers...Would like to buy something here to fit the application rather then fabricate something since I'm not having much luck there.

Let me know!

I bought this one for my T56 swap. It fits well but does seem like it would be vibration prone. I will know shortly as my swap is almost complete.

I don't know if this will fit the TKO as well.

Thanks - I contacted them but the guy I spoke to informed me he had to reach out to his, "camaro guru" on if it would work on a camaro third gen. Approximately how thick is it? I made one similar to this out of sheet metal and am wondering if perhaps I just need to score it further outward or use a thicker sheet.

Well it definatley fits my Camaro with T-56. I'm not sure if the cover will fit the TKO though. I'm not sure how thick it is. It pretty darn thin though. It seems like making one out of ABS or Acrylic sheet may be a better idea. Those materials would be less prone to vibration.
