I agree it probably isn't necessary to cover it, but it sure looks better and more finished than the opening with the fork sticking out of it. Just another one of the small details that separate the best cars from the nice cars.
Good luck, Bob

Only problem there... If you're a drag racer (or a racer with a sanctioning body that requires bell housing certs) and you "modify" your SFI rated bell housing the SFI cert is now null and void..
