I seem to recall a member on here actually has that tool in his possession he might rent out, but obviously can be cut with a dremel, a file and alot of patience so you don't take too much off.
I have an original that I am replacing because it was all broken. I measured up the new one and drilled out the center. But now like you said a file and a lot of patience. Thanks, Marc.
