A man after my own heart......................I make little bits like that all day long as the need arises. The most high requirement is the more expensive the part is the more I go for remaking it myself. It's a game to see how much money I can pay myself an hour by not buying the part. Getting pretty high though, one of the records is $2500/hr. when I used a 30 cent washer to recover an automatic transmission that was slipping heavily in 1 and 2. Fixed instantly and it was still running fine 20 years later when I sold the car. Every shop I took it to claimed the trans needed a rebuild. I've done the same to a Ford Focus too to cure slipping, that one cost me about $10.
When I couldn't find a replacement ignition module at reasonable price for my early DOHC Honda I made one using GM HEI ignition modules. $25 each instead of a part that cost $125 each and the replacement fires plugs at a .060" gap.
