Hello rc - yes, It appears perfect so far. I think it'll work. I still need to add the two dimples or whatever they're called and match drill holes to the adapter. After that take it to a local shop and have it welded or silver soldered to the adapter. I'm not certain yet how they did it originally.

I'll check back in soon as possible with the results maybe next week. At any rate thanks to you this project looks very successful.
