OEM 12 bolt diff cover - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My diff cover had been overtightened..a lot. To the point that you can see the bolt shoulder circle imprinted on the inside of the cover. Some of the shoulders had cut into the cover. I can spend some time hammering it back into shape but with the cutting into the cover, I think its better to replace.

Anyone know of a good source? Ive looked at all the typical sites already. I can't find any with the factory raised ribbing between bolt holes, and the curled back flange. No decent junk yards in the area.
