Where to get those rosettes found on shoulder mounts and handles? I remember seeing it discussed here but I can't find a supplier because of my lack of knowledge I assume.
Something like that seen on the bottom of the shoulder support here:

I guess you could sacrifice the beach umbrella for a quick hack version. P+S probably sell theirs as a part but it likely won't be cheap.

I guess my best bet then will be salvagin some Cavision equipment and spare parts.
I can get that $17 Cavision RSHCE Handgrip Extension Connector to get a pair and a link.

I've bought these: GANTER GRIFF | Otto Ganter GmbH & Co. KG - GN 187 Serrated locking plates (http://www.ganter-griff.de/?cmd=normblatt&guid=b9185656-6e4c-4af0-b441-cae8619bb50a&LCID=2057&pageID=35)
Very strong, no slippage at all and the 32mm/M6 version is very similar to ARRI's
