Anyone by chance got a spare Metallica Sparky airball protector, similar to the below?
Thank you.

+1 if anyone can crank these out..
Surely its just flat petg or whatever its called. Get one and someone can reproduce them ?
Not sure they're currently produced, is the problem.
I could do them if someone could scan one ?
I suspect if enough people e-mail the Convolux people, they'll make one available.
They already have the full Metallica plastic protector set.

Yea but you'd have to sell your first born for a few euro worth of plastic!
Hardly.
Their full kits run 35-65€.
One airball protector isn't going to be hugely expensive.

As a previous purchaser of your work I can vouch for your quality, I'm happy to take the current plastic out and scan it for you, it has less plastic shown here
Apologies for fat fingers but you get my drift so you could use my scan and alter it to make the plastic shown in the first pic if you wanted to do a run?
Ha ha

Thanks! I'll give it a shot but I'll need something to get the scale. Even if you could measure the size of the bolt hole. They are usually 3.5mm
Cool man, if I put it on my scanner next to a ruler and email you that would that do? I'm away till next week but will do that if you pm me your email...
Let's do it

Great work . I can't speak for eveyone but drilling my own holes (giggity) won't be a problem if getting the size/location is an issue.

Are these ok? The metal ruler doesn't look level with the edge on some of the photos but it was, just the way the camera on my tablet was positioned. So the plastic needs extending up to the black line, similar to the first photo in this thread

What a Div I am. I had a spare piece of polycarbonate left so thought I'd have a go. I've only got a junior hacksaw so it is a royal PITA. Managed to get the rough shape cut out before realising I've cut it the exact same shape as the current one, without the added bit at the front 
I'll have something Monday.
Pics are perfect. Thank you!

Second attempt with the little bit I had left. Not enough to do the proper shape but just enough to get the 2 holes in and cover the front. I'll still buy one of yours if you manage to do them.
Careful when you take the screw out next to Sparky's little finger as it is partially underneath it and I ended up taking a little bit of paint off the side of his finger the first time. Put some thin card/old credit card between the screwdriver and finger to help avoid damage.
It just felt like a matter of time before an errant airball damaged something so glad this is in place now.

Many thanks to @Cryptkeeper for making this plastic, perfect fit and looks very professional . Far better than I could do. I can now bash my balls without fear of damage.
