Onya Mike .  ^^^ I'd expect you will sell quite a few as especially the tracks on most original boards would be well worn by now .

I found two contacts (pun intended) - factories today that can make these. The first wants a minimum order of 10K pcs the second will make one piece if I pay for the die.

I can't get prices until I have the part as a sample and the engineering drawing done up.

i am willing to send you one of the two that i have at the moment for the sample.But i can forsee a bigger issue.the copper cutout is the easy bit,then you have to rivet the contacts on and bend into shape.photos attached.

Not really - the die cost should only be around $800 and then the per piece price will be very cheap. Naturally the sell price will need to reflect the die cost and the expected sales over a reasonable time frame. I am thinking $2~3 each is realistic  !@#

The bending of the piece and riveting of contacts isn't a big deal.

I would make it with the third hole in the centre for the locating pin on the DT
