Some of the mini-lathes come with spring-guards as standard. You might
get lucky with a spare part.
The one I bought for my machine wasn't that expensive:
"From: DQR Precision Ltd
Further to our telecon, I have attached a couple of pages from our

They come held together with a loop of wire. When you snip the wire
they fly out to full extension.
The idea is to put them on the screw, close up the gap as small as
possible _then_ snip the wire.
Even at full extension the one on my Z axis isn't all that easy to
pull up to oil the screw.

It is held in place only by its own preload. The spigots just centre
it so it doesn't touch the screw.
