What battery cover? Are you referring to the battery bracket that holds the battery in place?

If you can’t find a used one, then go to an automotive / marine upholstery shop. They will take some measurements and make you
a custom cover.

Shouldn’t be too pricey.

PS I’d inquire with all eBay sellers who are posting used parts. That is one part that doesn’t wear out and unlikely to be damaged in a crash. There ought to be some of them available.
