Merc cruzer, thanks for the links. I found the article and lots of good info there. The fact that they are for sale and available makes me wonder if it was a poor design and the plates were easy to lose. I'd hate to spend that much money on one only to lose it again after a few miles.

Before I bought the correct cover I made one out of scrap. Drill a couple of holes at each end and tap the holes for the screws and you are ready to go. The new one seems to hold on firmly. My guess is that people took them off and forgot to put them back on....maybe when the trans was being serviced. With the car parked in the garage or barn a mouse could crawl up there........
