I have not set up to take the photos yet. But had more thought about trunnion mating and mating tripod columns.
Bore a hardwood block in a metal cutting lathe or a wood lathe, or use a Fortner bit in a drill press. Find PVC conduit or aluminum pipe which mates the trunnion. ( If you are not equipped to bore the pipe to size, then slot it, so that it can expand/contract to fit the trunnion. Then glue the aluminum sleeve in the wood block. The glue can fill any mismatch between the sleeve and the hole. One would probably make the sleeve before making the hole in the wood block.
It may be that a standard aluminum tube size will fit the tripod columns without any machining. I have been told that this is so to a sufficient approximation for long sleeves for the Hercules. The item thus mounted was a WW II 20 x 120.
