Did you just use a table grinder?

Only I couldn't bend over the top like skeebo did. It would just be a flat plate. I would be very interested in cover options

The daughter had a birthday party, so my weekend was spent cooking weenies and listening to a dozen girls scream Beiber songs!

Nothing wrong with that at all. Much cleaner looking than the factory part. Bolted on from the inside, covered with little vacuum caps?

I need to do something about mine, looks terrible. And find somebody with a louver punch to mod the upper belt guard, some kind of boring, AND I loathe chrome, so it needs to be sanded and painted... Undecided

Yep, that exactly what I did. I probably would've preferred the expanded metal to have been welded in place, but I'm a bit lacking in the TIG dept. I figured this way, if I don't like the look, I can always switch out the caps for something else...that was before I used copious amounts of red lock-tite...I guess that's why they make power tools Cheesy

It's too bad Skeebo went MIA. He made some really cool stuff. I had ordered a fake oil tank/battery box right before he disappeared and stopped answering e-mail and PM. :'(
