3D Printed Gibson Ripper Pickup Cover

I've owned my 78' Gibson Ripper for almost ten years now. One thing I need are the correct covers for the pickups, currently have the Seymour Duncan Ripper Pickup set in. Last year I scored a NOS set of 77-82 pickup covers, and last week started modeling them. Here's the finished one next to the original, going to add heli-coils since I can't find brass inserts for the pickup height screw.

Cool! This past year I had a set of radiused pickup covers made for me to replace the flat ones my bass had. It’s a project the pickup companies I contacted didn’t want to do, so there is a definite market for them.

Any chance you still have the 3d print files for these? I'm restoring a ripper and have a friend that offered to 3d print some stuff for me
