That cover is long gone...been out of production for several years. I went to Lowe's, bought a piece of sheet metal, and took a piece of cardboard; cut out a semicircle close to the size of the rear main area, then traced the shape of the bell housing. Then I cut out the sheet metal, held it up in place, did a little trimming, marked the bolt holes, and cut out a hole for the nose of the starter. Isn't pretty, but it works...

You may also try one of the used parts houses. Vette2Vette and Corvette Recycling are two a lot of guys use on here.
Best of luck to you!
Unless you drive on some nasty roads it won't hurt anything to not have it on there for a while.
