that would be fairly simple to make..all one would have to do is to contract a spin caster to cast the head of the plug in a light metal- the head would have to be cast with the through wire hole in it, and it would have to have a collar that could slide into the wooden or plastic body- some good epoxy and your good to go- things to worry about is the possibillity of the metal head being too heavy.

Eben,
Doesn't need to be that difficult. Zeke used metal lips from broken Atom Juniors. Would grind them to the shape of the bottle lip - make a small slit in the head of the bottle - epoxy it in then rewire the plug. The plug would cast and swim just as good as the original.
