I wonder how thick the metal is. Probably the same as the stock , eh feller? :yawinkle:
Looks like what I got, about the same weight as the one that came off maybe a little thicker, need to put your own magnet in though. Chrome bolts were an additional $5. Search the 10 bolt cover on ebay. It may have been a little less expensive than the link timeless put up but not much. Mine works, keeps the juice in, bugs out.

It does what I need and the price is right. I'll inquire about shipping to :canuk: and report back.

Verify that one is for the 7.5" and 7.625" rears and not the 8.2". Looks like an 8.2" 10 bolt cover.
