I don't see why u couldn't replace the diff cover ,the best place would be a wreckers and some of them might not wanna separate it with the diff.

Ouch! you should be able to get all the bits from a wreckers the rear cover off something that had a bent housing from a bad raer hit and a new watts link from a front end hit. good luck

Just wondering if anyone has a spare diff cover they want to sell.
tried a few wreckers and as some one posted above they won't sell it without the complete diff. so if anyone has a broken diff and preferably in sydney. thanks.
