    Would someone like to sell me one? I would prefer that it were not perfect. My car is a '77 gtb.
    Thanks

    The early cover does not have the square insert.

    I sent mine in to a metal shop and they banged out four or five.

    A 1977 does have the square edge to go around the tire hold down...not sure what you mean.

    PM your info I will get a picture, by the third one they were getting good!
    As it does not show, I think these are passable..

    NOT drilled for the studs and knurled nuts, just blank....HTH

    I have an original one complete with nuts and clips, I think I paid $250 for it, if that sounds good.

    Don't understand why these usually look like they were thrown out the window and run over.

    Often "left loose " for long periods, and the OEM metal is not stout....but yes I was so happy to find a rare, complete one, and it's ugly as a mud fence....

    I pad mine a little and make SURE the Base block holder is on the battery, seems like a top post short just waiting to happen.
    I maintain Post Covers too....

    My original cover was eaten through at one of the battery terminals... How much are you asking for a repo?

    Where are you in the world?

    $50USD plus shipping (allow $20 for USPS) sound reasonable??

    If you have your original fastenings they will make a nice improvement..I think the OEM is formed in aluminum.
    My repros are heavier gauged steel.
