Here it is: If you have to have teh stock one, Ithink I still have mine. I'll look when I get home and let you know. You need to replace teh bolts if you go this route with 1/4-20 thread at least 1.25 long, I believe 1.5" long will work too.

The fin design is to help dissipate heat. Painting it black will slow that process down a little.

Personally, I'd paint it black too. The fins will help more than the stock cover, even if it was painted black, but just wanted to throw that info out there.

If you have a Sterling 10.5 axle, yes. You just need longer bolts.

I was under the impression that the covers are the same for the 10.25 and the 10.5. I could be wrong on that one though.
