Any mods that have parts that could act as a backshell for probes?

I don't like sending my probes hurtling through the atmosphere without any protection. I have deadly reentry installed, which gives me a heat shield, but I need something to cover up the top side of my probes. A back shell is what they're called:

See the white bit?

Are there any mods that contain this part? (Besides procedural fairings I suppose.

Thanks.

Procedural interstage fairings should do the trick. Set the interstage base so the floating node is attached to the top of the probe (opposite the heatshield). Reduce the height, then increase the top width to match the heat shield and the extra height so the side walls reach the heat shield. The floating node is the one that decouples, so you can even set it up with sepratrons so it ejects.

Yeah I've used that method before but it's not my favourite. I just want something as simple as a hollowed out Rockomax Brand Adapter or Kerbodyne ADTP-2-3.
