Precisely! I think ideally, if you look at the partial circle
where the gear leg hole is in the U-1010-L part, what you would
get are 3 steel spacers, and a "C" shaped plate that is predrilled
for the 3 bolt holes, and wraps around that area as reinforcement.
You can look at the mating cleveland wheel part where the other
side of the spacers go, and see that it's just a 2/3 circle flange.
So if you had a 2/3 circle flat plate with 3 holes in it, as a
reinforcement plate, and 3 spacers, all made so the overall total
thickness was about .655-ish in thickness, you'd be in great
shape.
I did get one company that contacted me that is interested
in making something, but I've not had a lot of time to reply
yet. But the pictures and info kind of speak for themselves.

Thanks for the write up.
