Speedometer swivel bracket?

The clamp-on swivel bracket on my 1915 didn't want to stay put. So I bought a #2696B spindle arm, the one with a hole in it for a swivel bracket. I thought it would be pretty simple to make a bracket that would take a bolt through the hole and remain solidly in place. But it turns out the hole is tapered. I expect I can make a tapered part that fits, but maybe it would be better to use an original part. A problem with that is that I don't know what to shop for. So far I haven't found a part name, number, or picture to give me an idea what I'm looking for. Can anyone enlighten me?

I guess it depends on the speedometer swivel that is being used. This is for a Stewart.

Well, that was easy. Just what I need. I didn't think of checking catalogues.
Thanks.

The s shaped bracket which links that L arm to the swivel is also available in the catalogues too

Do your homework Steve! 1915 brackets are all by themselves. I think they are being reproduced in brass. You may luck out and find an original. I bought a NOS original from Alvin Anderson back in the sixties for $3! How many of you remember him?
