    Default Fabricated Aluminum Flexplate Cover

    Hey Greg;
    I'm looking for a fabricated cover. Just wonder if you knew of someone or company that makes flexplate covers from aluminum sheetmetal ?

    Thanks, Bubba

    Declark runs the MPD one on his new rig. Lightning makes a flywheel cover also but they usually crack but work fine if you can live with a few small cracks..

    Shoe n Mike are out of town shooting birds or something.

    X2 on the Lightning Products. Ive owned 3 of them and they have all cracked within a season.

    I wish I was hunting. Haven't been able to go up and shoot this year.

    My Lightning is 2 years old, no cracks.
    I may be growing older, but I refuse to grow up!

    I have two years on my lightning deal as well, no cracks, But I will also agree that MPD's deal is much nicer than the stamped out over priced Lightning stuff! When I received my Bell housing from lightning, it was scratched and looked like someone Monkey polished it with 220 grit paper, sent it back and the second was not much better, so I had it re-polished! my next will most likely be from MPD
    Bubba, as picky as you are, spend your time and money with MPD, I feel that you wont be too happy with your other option, I kinda know how you can be with your aluminum polish!
