Seems a shame to waste it. Any suggestions? Pedals? :lol I'm getting way ahead of myself, I don't have nearly enough free time to make all my plans come to fruition...

There have been a few questions about the trigger stick mod so this should clarify. If this is helpful let me know and I'll update the wiki entry.
This is the base as seen from below. The threaded nut and magnet are positioned and held fast by the putty.
This is the complete assembly. The large yellow mass is the putty used to hold the magnet in place. As you can see I had to sacrifice one of my screw posts for this area. I intend to drill into the putty and use a very short screw but for the time being everything holds tight with one screw and a bit of black tape at the bottom. It doesn't bother me and I'm in no rush.
This is the two part putty I used. Really anything workable that isn't overly sticky and air cures would work well, I just happen to really like this product.

thanks for the follow up pics!
quick question. did you put half of the stick on the shaft, align the insert and magnet and then mold the putty around everything? once dried, does it pop off easily?
thanks again for everything!
