Hi everyone,

I've been looking for an aftermarket cover for the lever on my F-attachment, but almost nobody has them, and if they do they are wood. No hate on the wood but... it's not really my style...
Peck Custom Designs used to make a bunch of really pretty ones but they seem to have disappeared and had no stock for a while. Is there any place / anyone that makes these anymore?

The black one is Delrin.

I'm looking for epoxy/acrylic ones, edwards does make good wood ones though

Their black one is Delrin.

Not sure if he does epoxy/acrylic, but I've been very happy with the rests Austin Tran has made for me: https://trantriggerrests.weebly.com/.

It's a figure of revolution, shouldn't be hard to 3D print at the local library.

I have also made acrylic/epoxy/stone trigger covers! You can see my work on instagram/facebook at Pauls Custom Brass Work
Or on Trombones of the Seattle Symphony and New York Philharmonic

Those definitely look amazing and are exactly what I was looking for! I'll be in contact soon

Paul,
Wondering how you attach the metal end piece? Epoxy?

I drill them (the epoxy) longer then have a smaller part on the nickel to go into the epoxy then polish to mask the seam

Cool!
Thank you.
Sometimes the most obvious, simple solution (having a "pin" to locate the metal piece on the bottom of the resin part) escapes me. Overthinking something is so much more my style!!
