When terminal strips don't have snap on safety guards I remove half the mounting screws and replace with nylon standoffs, (most strips i use have four screw mounts, keep two metals screws for mechanical stability, the other two are nylon stand off.. Obviously you want a metal screw on either side, just as with the nylon standoffs)
Then i cut a piece of plexiglass to length and width then fasten above the screw terminals. I prefer this method over the snap on covers but if a strip already has the cover I'm probably not going to run the extra mile and make my own.
