DIY Stylus Guard Help

I'm sending my main cartridge off for rebuild and I need to mount a wood body modified DL103r into my SME. Last time I broke the cantilever off so I'm looking to create a stylus guard for the installation process. Has anyone made a stylus guard for their cartridge? Any suggestions besides getting new hands installed that aren't clumsy?

Making a stylus guard is about as dangerous to the stylus as any other job that forces you to put the stylus in jeopardy.  I wouldn't do it at all.

What lewm said. Especially since its going off for rebuild. If they come with a stylus guard, it should come back with a stylus guard- a real one not the one you cobbled and taped together.

I successfully made one for an old cartridge by using a knife to carve out a wine cork. Worked like a charm!
