Hi Eric, I order all my stock pre-cut and drilled and then polished. I'd have to do a special run of a single-hole version, and I have to order quite a few to make them cost-effective.
Aside from aesthetics, what is the practical advantage, if any, to having as single hole? I would think it would act less as a strain relief in this way. It would still "cradle" the fender, but I would imagine its overall net benefit is less. If you're good with tin-snips and have a spare fender you can use as a donor, you could cut a few out and polish them.
