WOW alot of interest in these! More then I thought anyway. Im going to be ordering the aluminum for these on tuesday, as of now we have 9 guys that want one. I dont plan on making any extra due to the cost of the aluminum. So if anyone else wants one let me know by tuesday. The covers will also have a 1/8" o-ring groove machined into the cover, so no more permatex! Thanks guys for all the positive comments! Cant wait to get the first one done! These are going to be one AWSOME piece of aluminum.
I want one but can't justify it at this point,

Is there any consideration to have covers made for other transmissions or is this something specific to a 413 that wouldn't benefit a 555 or 568? I know the covers aren't universal (I don't think), just asking. Regardless, I'm looking forward to seeing it. I love it when you guys custom make parts for our cars because they are usually better than what the engineers thought of with a LOT more R&D and money involved. Very impressive.

The worthwhile manual transmissions already have a thick cast aluminum cover for the differential, its also machine matched to the case as its part of differential support and not just a bolt on and go part.
On the 413 its just a cover, like a oil pan tipped up on its side.

This is one end of "that" argument where both extremes are silly... The factory engineers worked within the constraints of price, suitability to intended purpose, and ease of production assembly. Therefore the brief was something like "Costs 25c, can be screwed on by a robot or permafried union worker and holds hmmm, probably 150HP and 200ftlb is all we're ever gonna want out of it" ... though they possibly snuck themselves in some margin in case it ever went in a V6 commercial, and they were told to make it work... Anyway, point being that yes, if they were told in the first place it had to help hold 500+ HP and the budget was there for individual machining to fit... I think they might have come up with something pretty damn good...
The other silly extreme of course is "If it was faster/better/lighter/made it handle/gave better mpg... .... they'd do it at the factory." ... nope for the same reason..... unless you're buying a hand built supercar for several hundred thousands... (Though mpg may or may not apply depending whether they are endurance racing the thing)
Not, either, that I decry the efforts of individuals and our vendors to make better parts. Yes they're necessary.
However, with manufacturers these days doing finite element analysis to remove every last fraction of a gram of non-essential material, with more computer horsepower in a room than existed on the planet when these were laid out, we'll come to find that we've got it pretty good.

Ok guys this sucks! I went to order the aluminum yesterday, because they said it would be coming in tuesday. Now they tell me it will be another 40 day till they get it in! As you guys know aluminum is not cheap, and this place had the best price I could find. I just cant wait another 40 days. So if anyone knows of a good place that sells 2"x10" flat bar 6061 at a reasonable price let me know.
Thanks Adam
Try this place?

Yeah I called them but they dont have inventory of the surplus aluminum.
Im going to try Moses glick this week if they dont have anything I may take you up on that offer. Do you know if bethlem aluminum sells 2"x10" flat bar? Not many places sell it that wide thats why I ask. If they do I need 7 feet of it.
Thanks for your help
