    The 10 bolt is still in production and will be done in 2 weeks. The first one off the line will be sent to me!!!

    Ah i didnt realize it wasnt out yet.

    In that case.... it might be better to just show them how many people have the 4XG cover and/or want it because there aren't any other options.

    Or we get a bunch of QT I and QT II guys to buy the ten bolt and have QD II guys keep calling and asking about the 12 bolt cover and I bet they will make it

    I think too Matt that the 10 bolt cover is probably listed as an 8.25. At least mine was on Solid's website. It said it was for an 8.25 and I only paid $84 for it.

    So heres the deal, I spoke with the owner last night, he said it costs the company $6500 just to make the mold plus the cost of each mold to produce a 12 bolt. I sent them pics of the 12 bolt diff since they didnt know one even existed, so they can compare to 10 bolt to see if they can creat a 12 bolt with just a modified mold. We talked for about 10 mins and I kept telling him there are alot of enthusiasts of this forum and a few on the other that would probably buy the diff cover within the first month of production and I dont think Im wrong on that. I suppose to call him back this afternoon/evening to see what he thinks, if he says no we may have a get a group together to keep calling on a 12 bolt everyday!!!

    Does he have an email address? I'd email him a justification why Id prefer this cover and even send him some pics.... like my leaking diff and now the pics of the damage on the bottom of the diff from scraping on rocks, but no more leaking.
