National D8 plastic pickup covers

Searched and didn't find anything. I need creme plastic pickup covers for my National D8. I have one for one neck, but the other one has broken. Does anyone make these any more? I remember some time ago, people on here recommending I make my own with plexiglass, tinfoil and an iron. A little too old and lazy to do that. Thanx!

Still looking. Has any one done one with a 3D printer? Has any one modified the metal one, similar to the Gretsch, or a Fender bass cover? Just curious. I was told a while back that I could make one myself with plexiglass, but I'm not that gifted. Thanx in advance.

Louie,

Are these what you're looking for? If so, send me the dimensions from the one good one you have. I have some acrylic and polycarbonate around here and could maybe make a pair of clear ones for you -- you paint them to suit your taste.
