Here's pictures of the aluminum cover I used, I got from Andre Jacobs
(on this list). I had severe clearance problems in the 1970 Hornet
chassis (but fixed them) that don't seem to exist in all years.

Nice looking cover, and seals well now that I used non-hardening
Permatex. Requires tapping the existing plastic-cover dowel holes; and I
had to cut the bolts to the exact length for each hole. Fiddly but
reliable.
