I am running both blue torch covers front and rear, mine where not the DIY though. As I did not have a welder at the time.

Super beefy, I love 'em.

BTF is definitely a lot cheaper than other options out there. I'd definitely consider them if I didn't already have upgraded covers

How does the cover look? Don't mind the light surface rust, it rained on it the other day, and I haven't painted it

I'm guessing 1/4" looking at the fill hole.
