For history and posterity, could you photograph and measure both of those fin units, and post them here? Shapeways 3D prints items in multiple types of plastics (and metals), including ones that are hard rubberized plastics, like those used to mold firework missiles' parts, so it wouldn't be hard to recreate them.
