Aluminum Fabricated diff covers

Is aluminum mandatory? All the fabricated ones I see are steel. PMF, Revolution Gear, Ballistic. The only aluminum one I know of is the cast aluminum Dana 80 cover made by Dana Spicer.

I searched all the aftermarket covers out available out there I could find and bought these the nodular iron Dana Spicer aftermarket ones but I may have bought the last Dana 60 one in the country. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/sdh-10023536?seid=srese1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIsbnZ7rj46gIVZz2tBh04zwEyEAQYASABEgJtUPD_BwE 10023537 Spicer Dana 80 Rear Nodular Iron Differential Cover

Not interested in heavy 3/8" thick steel covers. I have chromed stocker covers now.

Seen the fabbed steel ones. Why not aluminium?
 
I think they're always steel because the goal is for impact strength since they're mainly use is for offroading. I don't know fabricating or material pricing so I don't know of cost of material or aluminum welding comes into play too.

No i get they are fabbed out of heavy plate steel for off road abuse.....

I have no plans to beat on my truck in the woods though. :hehe:
 
I could make you one out of aluminum foil since they aren’t really going to be “used”...:poke:
 
This banks covers looks pretty wierd in my opinion. Saw one on a truck last week they looks even goffier in person.

Well, we could do it. If you have a design in mind, let me know, you have my number(s) otherwise, we'd start from the flange and build from there.
