If you do, would you please take a couple snaps of it for me and post them here?? One in place on the camera and one just of the thing itself?
I'd like to try and make one.
Thank you!

I have a plastic GG protector, but I have no clue what perspex means.
Is it a brand name, or a design, or a type of plastic, or... ???

If you believe you can, or you believe you can't... you're right.
Leigh,
Perspex is hard acrylic plastic, usually in sheet transparent(sometimes tinted various colors) form:

Thanks, Dan. The common name here in the US for clear acrylic is Lucite.
Here are two shots of mine, obviously a commercial product, but no name or other ID.
The part that goes inside, in front of the GG, is perfectly flat and extends the full width.
The material is .080" (2mm) thick.
The item was formed in two steps.
1) The two raised features on the back were made using vacuum forming techniques.
2) The cylinder on the end was formed by warming the material and bending it around a mandrel.

Thanks fellows.
I once saw a clear perspex (plastic) one that seemed to be just U-shaped and slotted into the film holder space, but it was a tiny photo online, so I couldn't see the details. As you said Leigh, Perspex is easy to bend with a heat gun or around a heated piece of metal pipe.
I think I'll just go ahead and make one. I'll let you know how I go.

Glad I could help. Good luck with the project.

Haha! Don't hold your breath. when I say "I think I'll..." that means sometime in the next couple years

Couple of years???
Your to-do list is an order of magnitude shorter than mine.
I was going to write mine down a while back, just so I wouldn't forget anything, but
the local office supply store didn't have enough paper in stock.
