Source for Record/Marples holdfast mounting flange

>I don't know if flange is the right word, but does anyone know of a source for the mounting collar/flange for the (sadly discontinued) Record holdfasts? I recently bought an M146 (the big one), and would like to mount it in multiple places on the bench.
Thanks,
Mike

They get separated from the tool, sadly.

I wonder if there's an easy kludge?

>It looks pretty simple except for the internal ridges. I don't have anything that could make those, unfortunately. But I'm thinking in terms of maybe starting out with a standard plumbing flange, drilling and tapping a few holes along the length, and inserting sharpened screws into the holes such that they engaged the ridges in the holdfast shaft - I've read about wooden nuts made that way, maybe it would work for this as well.
If I ever get time...
