Email me if you're looking for a new one within the US. They run $80ish new shipped to your door IIRC.

Thanks

when you get your new cover, get some JB Weld or something and reinforce the mounting tabs!! i've had to buy 2 covers since i got my FD in April, and i'll be damned if it happens again haha.

lol..same thing happened to me last week. make sure you check the other side, because the mounts where the bolts go thru is plastic, and will become very brittle.

I've found that a small fender washer glued to the top mounting tabs (2 places) helps. What happens is that those tabs are actually slotted....there is NOT a lot of meat in there. Slotting makes it nice to where you don't have to take out the screw completely, but it really weakens things. I've broken mine just by the hand pressure I put on the cover whilst washing/waxing.
