Default Shock Guards for B6.4 & B74.1

Looking for shock guards for B6.4 and B74.1 to run on carpet.

They are the guards/covers that a attach to the upper part of the shock/tower that prevents the nut/thread from digging into the carpet when flipped over.

They are required at the tracks I race for front and rear.

Post what you have seen or use with success.

How do they stay on? Just a slip fit and do they bind up?

Thanks for the lead.

What are other people using?

You can turn the assembly backwards and it makes the screw head the leading edge.

Kind of hard to describe.

Put the screw through the shock cap and thread the stand off all the way on. Now insert the screw through the tower and use a nut on the backside. If you flip, the screw head hits the carpet instead of the sharp end of the screw threads.

When you rebuild your shocks unscrew the nut, slide the whole assembly out and you have a handle on your shock cap to make it easier.

Most everything I heard either falls off or breaks easily.

I saw a nice graphite one but sure it was???
