Lynx Distributor cover to replace Busbar sleeve

I'm installing a couple Victron systems and using the Lynx Distributor for the first time as a bus bar instead of the traditional negative busbar and the positive fused busbar with cover. I connect the outgoing cables to the inverter from the busbars usually covered with the red or black sleeve.


However, when connecting these cables, I noticed that the bus bar remains exposed which may be a little unsafe in some environments. I will try to cover these with some ducting for these but think it would be a good idea if Victron could come up with an end cover to protect the exposed segments of the busbars.

Has anyone worked a cover of anykind for these? If so, please share you experience or suggestions. Would a purpose made cover provided by Victron be something you would use?

I use silicon battery covers from Amazon. They are fairly cheap and come in different sizes.

I cut off the external busbars just inside of the Lynx Distributor,and then blanked off the busbar apertures.
