Hmmm, I made something also those lines way back when.
I used a 2" by 3" by 1 mm thick piece of powdercoated steel (recycled bottom of a defunct arcade stick), drilled holes to match my socket-A platform, brazed in 3" 6-32 machine screws, and used a couple of squares of old mouse pad to support the back of the socket without crushing anything.
It's been behind one mobo or another for a year and a half. Makes changing blocks real easy.
Anyone can make one. Just substitute epoxy for the the braze, and polyurethane for the powdercoat.
