I have ordered from T3. Very quick shipping.
Are these the parts you refer to?

It looks to me like the parts would still require that the hole in sub

The washer idea is a good one but again I'd be curious as to how
washer thickness affects position of parts. A large enough washer
would be relatively thick?
