[Spits] plastic tranny covers

[Joe Curry]

I have a PVC one in my red Spit and it fits and works well.  I insulated the
underneath by spraying Urethane foam (from an aerosol can purchased at Home
Depot).  That works well and can be trimmed with an electric knife (Just
don't tell the wife).

Subject: [Spits] plastic tranny covers

I have plastic tranny covers in both the Spitfire and GT6.  IIRC, 
they came from different sources (Spitbits, TRF) but I may be 
mistaken.  As far as I noticed they are the same.  They've been in 
the cars for more than a few years.  Neither fit particuarly well, 
okay but not great for several reasons.  The GT6 cover is now 
slightly cracked in one spot.  And driving through severe rain and 
puddles for the CCBCC British Legends ride taught me the value of 
having a better fit to the firewall!

So I'm considering fitting another and doing it more carefully.  Any 
thoughts or experiences with them?  Is any vendor's better than 
another or are they all really the same from the same manufacturer?

Tanks,
