I see where my misunderstanding came from now.  Oooops.  <Looks Sheepish>

So, as you actually have some of these in your hand, is it possible you could push the insert out (say using a block with a hole in it to let the insert pass through, but support the rubber) and then put your own insert in there?

Also, I just looked and Lord has a distributor about 5 miles from where I work (give me convienence or give me death).  If I want to run out and get a couple of these things, how much should I expect to be paying?

I wasn't aware they were even still making their own sticks.  I thought all their designs that were still in production had been licensed out to Happ?

The metal insert is molded into the rubber removing it would ruin the part.

See the picture in the e-bay link above.
