I'm not quite sure I understand your question?... This cover is made to fit the 34/78 Red and Yellow top Optima. We also have covers for side post only batteries.

Unless you want to stamp the piece out or weld it together... Aluminum parts can have curves because they start off as billets (blocks) of aluminum and get machined down to size by a CNC. The trade off on that is you can't get a mirror finish like stainless, harder to keep polished and can corrode
