    Well since ain't nobody offerin to buy me lunch and my phone ain't just Rollin in the orders, here's what ya need to make it happen fro yourself.
    These specs are fer a 900 series HB.
    1- 8"x18" sheet of High impact acrylic
    1- Razor Knife
    1- Torch or some kind of flame
    1- Drill with a 9/32 bit
    1- Straight Edge, Metal Ruler or Framing Square
    1- Permanent Marker
    About 20 min fer most. Ifn your a gewber, and you know who you are, allow 1 hour.

    Now this sheet ain't sold in the correct size, so ifn you're a gewber, it'll be easier fer the gewber at lowes to cut it fer ya. I bought an 18x32 sheet and cut mine myself.
    Measure 3.5" from each end and mark.
    Then measure back 5" from front to back on each side on the edge of the sheet. Then mark from the front of your 3.5" mark back to your 5" mark and use the razor knife to score the plastic. Score it several times and then place on the edge of the table and break. When both angles are made. Then heat the plastic along the 3.5" line until you can bend it easily. Bend it 90 degrees and repeat on the other side. Once this has cooled, place it on your ff to make sure you ain't gewbered it up. At this time you can decide ifn you want to Velcro it or bolt it on with the gimbal screws. Ifn you wanna bolt it on you gonna have to mark the plastic about an inch and 3/8 from the back. They's a goofy lip on the back of the ff you have to fit it to. Mark the line and heat. Use razor knife while it's hot to cut the plastic. You may have to flex it a few times and then it'll break or kinda tear smooth. While the ear is still warm put shield on ff and mark the hole and drill. It needs to still be warm when you drill it or else it'll break. Repeat on other side. Then scuff with coarse grit sand paper so paint will stick.

    Remember I'll do it fer $50.
