I had some extra way cover bellows left over, so I took a piece of aluminum L channel, cut it to size, notched it, and mounted four neodymium magnets on one side. On the other side I mounted the extra bellows. The magnets secure it in place under the mill head and the notches keep it from sliding from side to side. The bellows only cover the Z axis directly below the head, but since that's generally the part in line with the milling it should protect it fairly well.
