Has anybody tried to make a pickguard for a foundation bass?

So long story short I got my 1984 foundy back after 10 years
20 years ago I thought relics were cool so I did this and I foolishly put LED's in my fretboard :shock:
I regret all of this.....

I was looking at her today and thought I wonder what it would look like with a pickguard on her
Wonder if anyone has ever done this before ? Can't find one pic out there???

Anyway I'm thinking about doing something like this very rough idea ( see pics)

I know I'm opening a can of worms here I ruined a great bass !!!
She still feels great plays great I could always replace the neck and get repainted eventually?

Anyway please comment on weather I should look into pickguard options or leave her I wondered if any of the other peavey basses pickguard would work also but not sure on there size

Also can somebody tell me what I should sell these for
I did see the knobs online for $20/25 each ! I had no idea
I guess they are solid
What about this 84 stock bridge I'm going to put on our local classifieds here in Australia but can't find any on line to get a fair price for it
Of course I'm selling to buy other bass stuff .

Thank you guys / girls of the low end

Btw everything works well I cleaned every Allan screw also nothing has seized
A bit of wear on inside of bridge witch you may be able to steel wool out ?
