Hey CG. I just did a search for gimble sticks, and came up with some replacement parts. Most of the one's I looked at did have the points on top, but I did not look at all. The few I did look at are not " cheap" by any stretch. $20.00 for two little pieces of Aluminum, made on a CNC, that spits out hundreds if not thousands a day, to me is a bit much. This is 2012 though. I have spent alot more than $20.00 on some other stuff that I shouldn't have.
