Hi, Alec.
I doubt you'll be able to find a cover for this Yashica. Personally, I'd try to figure out how to attack the problem from a different angle. Perhaps use the old cover, but form a saddle that would fit over it and attach to the springs...something like that. On some, I have used a piece of foam rubber attached to the inside of the pentaprism bulge on the top cover. This actually will work, and is easy.
Good luck.
Jon
