i've just had a go Chris, took no more than 2 minutes, cut it with aviation snips and tapped out the curl on a small vice just need tidying up with a small file, might have a go at making some using brass fret pins as the track mount

regards Jack.

they need to be bang on 3/32 or 2.5mm to go through the track if not could file them down a bit

if you want them let me know how many strips, their about 3" long and probably will need tidying with a small file, easy enough with brass
