I built the plate out of 1/4" plate.

Genius! If I only had the brains to construct a plate like that (and knew how to weld). You should fabricate more and sell them... I'd be first in line. Nice work!

As mentioned above, the $30 HF universal plate works great with just minor trimming. That is what I used, and if you don't do the upside down/hidden part it is not hard to do.
