[LargeFormat] Gitzo head suggestion..?

Anyone have any ideas about this one?

 I just got a humungous Gitzo low profile rationale head - biggest one they
do. However, because of it's design, part of it sticks down lower than the
tripod head mount plate. This is okay with a "normal" sized tripod plate -
Gitzo, Benbo etc, but want to use it on my old Ries, which has the huge 4 or
5" wide top plate.

So - I need something to mount between the two - a spacer of half and inch
or so. Before I see about getting something machine, does anyone know of
something ready made that would do? a spacer with a threaded mount hole in
the bottom and a tripod mount screw on the top?...  If you see what I
mean...?

Thanks  tim a
