I had no idea something as simple as a primitive ignition could be ground into the dirt so thoroughly. Oh, Internet.
I agree that all the pertinent concepts have been well covered in this thread. Enough for anyone to make an informed decision in choosing an available system or make their own where none of those suit them.
Like Jerry implied, you could probably modify one like I or others have done with simple hand tools. I used a lathe because I have one. I've done similar work with holesaws, files, dremels, and hacksaws. This is a relatively simple and forgiving mechanism. And if you roach it, another stock distributor is easily obtained.
Have fun.
