Just buy the pellet.. its like 9-10 dollars. That way you dont have to 
modify/cut/pull/fabricate ANYTHING.. The replacement plug is literally 
plug n play. (remember to save the big spring and install it on the new 
plug).

Thermal Pellet.
I'm sure tracy would sell you one too.. but cant find it listed on his 
site..
 
The info on tracy's page is on the Renesis page.. its the same shaft. 
http://www.rotaryaviation.com/renesis_engine.htm scroll down to the 
march/2004 part to validate.
