The only thing that I know of is to get a new aluminum rear cover with stud supports. That will help some, my plan was to drive the car & save $$ for a new rear if it broke. Here is a rear cover: http://www.texas-speed.com/item_deta...ProductID=1174

Don't spend any money on a cover. Save up for an aftermarket 12-bolt or Ford 9" You got $800 wait till next month, save some more.
Just don't get on it until your rolling, should help it last.

I have seen a lot of people spend $700-$800 into their 10 bolts, only to have the next weakest part break. I would just drive it as is, until you have the money saved up for a 12 bolt. Bob

I think I spentabout $1500.00 in redoing and upgradiing my rearend only to still have it break. Listen to everyone else and save up some money to buy something that will last.
