Any material for the slug will do, your not going to touch the weld to it.
Roadracer has an excellent point.... its just a box, you could line bore it on the lathe, you have all the gubbins you need... an excellent project with a worth while out come.

I've given some thought to manufacturing a new head, if I had nothing else more pressing to do I'd give it a go.
I just thought if there was a supplier in the US that could sell me a new casting (with the newer locking mechanism) I'd get it functional.
Guess I'll give it the "heave ho".
