Do aftermarket black covers for trembuckers exist?

I've got a distortion trembucker in the bridge of an RG. I tried buying an aftermarket cover for it and it didn't fit, so I gave up.

...a few years later...

I tried putting the cover on again today, and it just won't go, the trembucker spacing is 52.5mm, and the cover is 52mm. The cover is also about 1-2mm too narrow overall, and it can't be forced. I can't find any non-brand covers on the internet that will fit an SD trembucker. SD makes TB covers, but only in nickel and gold, not black.

Seeing as Duncans are so popular, I was surprised that I couldn't find any (non-SD) covers that fit. Has anyone managed to add a cover to a TB, especially in black?

Thanks Jolly. I've hopefully found some that will fit, will report back...

They make them but they suck, literally, they suck the life & tone right out of the pickup! This probably doesn't apply to them all but I got some powder coated ones & they made the Humbuckers sound awful! Be sure to check to see what they are made out of before you buy them. Maybe you get what you pay for, mine weren't very expensive? I don't know what the heck these things were made out of, Zinc maybe, but they almost ruined a really nice set of puppies???
