Stop in for a cup of coffee
Nothing done. Not one thing. Actually did wander around to search for a diff cover i thought i still had. Its mia. Found my bench sander and my cross slide vise though.
Figured i could pick the worst of the 2 covers,chop it up to make it look like it was the result of a catastrophic failure and mount it over the good cover. Plan b is to weld some sheet metal to it and hope it works out.
