The first step would be to not think of it as (or call it) a palm rest. It's
there to protect the bridge and, ultimately, the cone from downward pressure. I
think it might be called a coverplate strap or a bridge cover. Dunno. The
National Model D (www.nationalguitars.com > Instruments > Single Cone Spider)
has a removable bridge cover on their coverplates. I find that especially useful
and I applaud them heartily for that innovation. It gives me access to a wider
range of tone from the strings and even allows me to put my palm right on the
bridge to get a thuddy plunk out of the strings in rare occasion that I want
that sound. I keep the coverplate strap off all the time unless I'm traveling
extensively with a gig bag. Then I'll put it back on when I put the guitar in
its gig bag and stow it in the overhead compartment of a plane.
