Are any replacement Firebird PUs available that are made like the old sidewinder design with an Rdc of 6,5k? Kent Armstrong, Seymour Duncan (awful design!!!)

For the curious, here's the patent for the Firebird pickups.
3902394 (pdf)
It was filed August 5th, 1975.
Here's another side winder by Lawrence from Jan 1975:
3916751 (pdf), probably for the Gibson Ripper. Looks a lot like the EB sidewinder.
He continued right along with that design when he made these sidewinders:
