Steelhead, I make my own lips. All of these use the same lip, I just scale it accordingly. I'll post the template, I got it off of one of these sites(can't remember which one and I don't want to take any credit for something I didn't come up with). Just use a photo editor and resize it to what you need and print it. After you print some different sizes, cut them out and see what fits your plug best. I print them on labels so I can just stick it to the steel and cut.

BTW, thanks for the compliments everybody. I'll post another shot once I get them wired. Got the lips done today, so I'll finish them tomorrow.

Nice! I've cut some goo-goo eye lips ans some danny lips using originals as templates with tin snips and some scrap stainless steel that someone gave to me a while ago. What do you use to cut with and what guage steel have you been using? The hardest part for me was drilling the hole/slot for the thru wire. I couldn't figure out how to make a slot, so I ended up drilling two small holes side by side for the thru wire. So far, it's worked....
