Thank you very much for the reply sir. It's good to hear that it's not that hard to do.
I have a lathe, mill and a bunch of other metal working tools in my shop and will likely make what I need myself. Even thinking about not even using the dripper bolts and simply drilling the correct hole size that I need with a countersunk opening on the inside opening into a cast iron bread loaf pan much like how the Lee production pot is made. It has a larger countersunk opening before the small opening the lead comes out of. I think that's for a couple of different reasons, but that was what I was considering doing. Would be both cheaper and easy and I could make a bunch of dripper holes.
For that matter, I could use each of the two sides of the pan for different size shot. Like #6 on one end and something smaller or larger on the other.
That would seem to be the simplest path forward and instead of spending $200-$500, a cast iron pan would be anywhere from $10-$30 new or used about anywhere.
