base plate for LXD 75 EQ mount

Yes, I do mean that part of the tripod.
At the next nearby star party, I will look for anything similar.
But, for example and by way of contrast, the LX90 attaches to a flat surface.
As for the LXD 75, a flat plate is needed with a fixed peg to be aligned with South, but also a circular recess 6cm diameter and 2 cm deep with central bolt hole (11mm) to receive the LXD EQ mount.
If this wasn't a snug fit, the EQ mount would wobble.
It might be easier to get something tailor-made at a metal shop!
