Robbo's MB-1 build

Anyone taken the cover off a stock humbucker?

I have a Seymour Duncan Custom Custom I plan to use in the bridge, but it has no cover and is black, which obviously won't match a standard HB in the neck position.

Way I see it is i have four options

1. One black and one chrome pickup (last option)

2. Remove the cover from the stock HB if they look OK

3. Get a chrome cover for the Seymour Duncan (covers are relatively dear for a genuine one)

4. Paint the chrome cover black

Hopefully someone has removed a cover from a stock HB and has a pic.

Thanks, Robbo

edit: found a tutorial from WierdBits on a 4 conductor mod that showed me the answer, so hopefully not too much has changed in 3 years
