Retail on the 10bolt F-body covers (TA 1809) are $159 and add a stud kit for $19.95.

5 orders will be sold at $140, 10 will be at $125, stud kits ordered with cover will be $15. This example is for the 10bolt F-body covers, they offer many other covers and any cover purchased will go into the GP count.

Please add your name if interested.

Nope, they are to allow you to preload the bearing caps.

Just curious, what does that mean?

Got the stickers today. Thanks!

No problem, thank you!

There are two bolts running through the rear cover, at the bottom it has a foot (a foot....hmm, think of the "ball" on the end of the bolt on a C clamp, it has that cover that can swivel to conform to things, it's a similar setup). That foot can be tightened against the caps that hold the differential in. When you apply torque to a differential, it will either move the car forward, or try to shove the differential sideways (trying to lessen the load on the gears and the spiral cut of a pinion can help push the ring gear away as well as the taper of the ring gear teeth). If you apply enough power, it could "skip" a tooth (or several) by flexing the caps sideways. Usually they just break at that point, but you could get out on the end of the ring gear and chip the end of the teeth off. So, this cover allows you to tighten a bolt with a foot on the end until it lightly contacts the caps that hold the diff. That helps prevent them from spreading (or that's the intent) under load. That should allow for longer ring gear life and a slightly stronger rear end (should, I've not thoroughly tested it yet, but that's the idea).

Did that make sense?
