I stumbled upon this old thread: https://www.excaliburcrossbow.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=62200 and it got me thinking, I could easily do this. Modeling it up in SolidWorks will only take me a matter of minutes. I don't have my own 3D printer but these days you can send a file, and pay someone to print and ship it to you.
So I contacted a local company, gave them rough dimensions and they said it would cost roughly $30 for one, and as low as $10 each if I got 10+ made and did some optimization for printing. Easy.
So I figured I'd stick my neck out here and see if any others are interested. I'd gather interest and once I know final number, would get an accurate quote, get all of them shipped to me, then ship out to the individuals. I'd only ask actual cost each and not need to make a dime off this. Will print out of one of the more durable 3D print materials and print them all in black. Individuals can later sand and paint to desired color, or leave as-is.
PM or reply here if interested. Serious inquiries only, I'm figuring each will probably land somewhere between $15 and $25 all said and done.
