    Hi, not sure about new bits but I read you can repair the old ones with epoxy, building the thickness of the black part back up then filing away the extra. Also heard of using tape wrapped around, but when I tried this it all got gummed up inside.

    I used to repair them using simple super glue. Build them up and file down to suit. But now you can buy new original style there is no point.

    Lol, it's a shame those gc style weren't popular due to their accuracy issues.
