I recently had a lens cleaned by a competent technician here in Austin (TX USA). Since I had been mulling the whole lens mount compatibility problem in my head for a while, when I picked up the lens, I asked him if he could get the spring loaded contacts on the lens mount if one broke. He said he could. So I think it might just be a matter of getting some of those spring loaded contacts, drilling the right size hole, and press fitting them in. The other side would just get shorted to the lens body. I have a cheap FA lens that I might just cannibalize for this experiment.
