Not sure it will fit - but a tooth brush cover was the perfect fit for one of my Ortofon cartridges. Henley Audio - I think can supply spare stylus guards, pricey from recollection.

I 3D printed a letter "U" as a stylus guide for my Ortofon Rohmann.

That looks ace , but you need a 3d printer😂

I’ve bought some araldite putty to see if I can make one that works

I suspect Araldite putty will be too rigid, the thing wil need to flex a little to be able to slide it on and then have sufficient clamping. Maybe make the araldite 'U' slightly oversize and put some friction pads, thin foam or felt type pads,where it needs to grip the cartridge. Alternatively there are plenty of affordable 3D printing services around now.
Sorry, I couldn't resist!
