I need a pair for my 57. I am wondering if later model style will fit? I cant seem to find any used original style ones. I know a guy remakes them but those are more than I want to spend right know.
Thanks for your help.

You can use the later style, you just need to drill a BIG hole in them. But using an original style is much easier, and doesn't look like a hack.

I placed an order for the covers from cip1 as suggested above. I am pleased with them.
They did ship them from Canada but still got to Florida in about a weeks time. Here are a few pics.
