The most practical method we've had for covering open gearboxes similar to this is wrapping a layer of duct tape around the outside. Cheap, lightweight, easy to apply and remove... though the aesthetics are a bit lacking.
We were really hoping to not have to go that route (the gearboxes are currently wrapped with saran wrap while we explore other options). We wanted to see if anyone had any concrete solutions using either something off the shelf, or plans to make one. Looks like we're going to make a case.
