found a good deal on a HD rear differential cover, and thought i would pass along my experience with this part.
RT off-road part numbers:
RT-20033 (black paint)
RT-20027 (red paint)
i bought the black version.
you can find info here:

got mine on ebay for ~85 bucks
seems like the black version (atleast the one i got) was a red one painted over. on the flange side there was black over spray that i scrubbed off, and there was red paint under it. no big deal.
the fill plug is higher, and an odd hex size, maybe because of paint inside the hex? it ended up being just a tad under 9/16 but bigger than 14mm...
again, no big deal.
this thing allows you to hold about 4 quarts in it. that is where i ran out, it could have held a tiny bit more. that is ~ double the factory fluid amount.
bolted on just fine, no alignment issues. came with a new gasket, and bolts, but i re-used my lublocker gasket, which worked fine with this unit.
came very well packaged.
great product, hope i dont have to test it out.
