Fender Trapezoid Rewind Recommendations

I've just got hold of a '51 Custom Triple 8
One of the trap pickups is dead and needs a rewind. The other two vibrate a little.
These traps are nothing like conventional pickups. The housing has magnets at each end and the strings pass through the coil which is on a cardboard former. They distort and become loose over time causing damage to the windings.

Nick Fryer in U.S. can supply replacement wound 3d printed bobbins ready to drop in, but thought I'd see if there was anyone in UK offering a similar option?

I've ordered a set of 3 wound bobbins from Rick Fryer pickups. http://fryerguitarpickups.com
Thanks to Liz Truss they'll cost me about £50 more than they would have been a week ago!
