don't know about the cover, but I bet the pictures aren't working because they are too big. 307200 bytes, maximum. That's 300KB.

if it's aluminum, i dropped in on my local midas shop and BS'd with the lead welder. he happened to be quite proficient with the TIG welder and fixed my aluminum alloy intake (old toyota tacoma 4X4) on the spot for $75.00.

he said three times, "don't hold me liable for this welding job".

i didn't and drove the heck out of that ride (300K miles) until it died of ex wife causes.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

IF its on jacks.. ok.. lol

Have a pro weld it, or get another trani...

Pro welding it would be around 100 bucks, (heck I dont know..)

new trani, 300 bucks...

doubt you'll find just the tail piece for sale..


You decide!
