Eric,
I have a nice homemade splash guard for my cimex. It is made from the bottom (or top) of a plastic barrel/drum. I used a jig saw and cut out the very bottom leaving the curved edge and then measured the height of the cimex from floor to top of the deck. Took that height and transferred it to the curved edge of the drum -down and cut around the whole drum making a very useful splash guard with a curved lip that keeps the splash guard on when tilting the cimex back. The lip rides on the deck of the cimex perfectly. Last for many years.
If this does not make sense imagine you taking an opened top barrel and turning it upside down and placing it over your cimex motor/deck. then think what needs to be removed to have the barrel fit over the motor and rest on the deck.
