lock up cover - do it yourself?

[Valin]

Guys, can you buy the kit to modify your stock cover to accommodate the glass, interchangeable lock up covers? I can machine the outside of my cover down easily, but is there enough meat in there to drill and tap bolts to hold on the cover pieces? Where can I buy the bolt on pieces?

I knew he had it coming, lol. Anyway about the lock up cover, i think it's just best to buy the whole cover with the glass already installed. I think the diameter of the glass may be bigger that what you can machine out of the original. I have seen guys who just cut a whole around the middle of the stock cover and cut a piece of Plexiglas glass to accommodate the hole and use the three holes for the screws that the stocker already has.

I had one of those by the time you machine the cover weld it a but the plexiglass you could have bought the nice one

Ok. Thanks for the replies guys. I appreciate it.

If I recall correctly, Alf44 could get them for around $150. IMO it's a waste of time and money.

Yea cause then your at risk of leaks, where a New DD cover is a 100%new 1 cast pice.

[AKheathen]

my 12bolt has 2 peices, not counting the plexi, lol
