Since they have a socket rather than a bore, they will be difficult to make a fixture for.
Are you talking about the ductile iron ones?
It might be possible to do the pad that contacts the cam but given how inexpensive they are, I don't think I would be worth the effort.
I have seen the dirt cheap on eBay.

you might check with web cams in California they hard face and regrind some of the others like Honda and such,,
you might also check with Esslinger Eng on 2.3 ford rockers they at one time made or had a 2.3 follower that had a harden insert that was machined after it was sweated in place..
the problem is that the 2.3's have a variable rocker arm ratio and I believe that the pad is shaped in an arc..
