Anyone got a spare ZF5 diesel inspection cover?

Among many other things that were removed on my truck ('93 F250 7.3, ZF5-42), and not reinstalled properly or at all, is the flywheel inspection cover... I realize it's not essential but I figure Ford put it on there for a reason.

None in scrapyards near me. Does anyone have one in their pile of parts?
thanks
Charles

Mine didn't have one when I got it, around 180k miles. Crossed over 231k awhile back, still nothing. Lol

More than likely it was not re-installed because the stock one would not fit over the larger solid flywheel conversion kit. I have heard that happens a lot when a large clutch is installed.

Franklin2 is right, when I went to a solid flywheel the inspection cover will not fit, really it will only fit over the stock 11" flywheel.

I like to think of my truck having a quick clutch inspection mod.

Never had one after my auto to zf conversion.

I have a couple... somewhere. When I did the clutch on both my '92 and '93, away went the inspection cover.
