Yes, "BF rda Replacement Contacts" are available from FatDaddy. They are about 1/2 down the page.
I understand the Goon takes the M2.5 size, but suggest you get both in case other attys need conversion.
They will probably need to be shorted to drain properly, but that's easy to do. I use vice-grips & a dremel; others use a file.

I was just filing them but now I use a drill and a file. Just put the pin in the drill and file as it spins, once you are nearly at the desired length use a bit of fine sandpaper for a smooth finish. It takes a bit longer this way but ensures it is level, not so important on the threaded part but if you need to shorten the head it is worthwhile.
Yeah,it's good to have both sizes,they really come in handy if you have other rda's you want to convert.I have a few odd ball rda's that don't use either size,but they have fit 99% of mine with no problem.
when you file these, are you filing the end of the screw or the head to fit inside the insulator? I'm an idiot when it comes to visualizing these things.
I doubt you'll ever need to file the circumference of the head to fit inside the insulator, but if the positive contact is keeping the atty way above the mod & you want to lower it, you can make the head thinner. Of course the mod can often be adjusted instead of filing the new pin.
If it is too high inside to drain, file that end.
I've ruined 3 pins attempting to make this work. I need 2 total. Anyone interested in making them for me for a fee plus shipping? I'm in Ohio.
Have you tried the Fat Daddy pins?They are very easy to work with,and you get 3 for maybe $6 after shipping.
That's why I haven't ordered one lol, but how much time and money have you invested already.
Found out too late that they had 50% off over cyber weekend. I was ...... when a friend ordered from them but didn't tell me before it ended. Guess I'll search better next year.

BF pins @ Fat Daddy are $4 for 3 pins... They come in 2.5mm or 3mm. Already drilled...
3f just listed them today for buck apiece, claiming they are for goon 22/24 and lp
The head or the threads? You don't own a Dremel? Much easier...
On the RDA's that came with a to long center pin I used a felt tip marker to darken up the part sticking out of the deck, then removed the pin and reduced the length with a bench grinder.
