Searching for flat shell holder to fit Forster Co-Ax jaws?

I've been using a Forster Co-Ax for the last year for everything but seating with my K&M arbor press. When it came to priming (Derraco PCPS) and bullet pointing (Hoover/AccuOne) that relied upon a flat surface sitting in the shell holder, I relied on the flat-top shell holder that came with my Derraco PCPS to Forster adapter kit, to give me the use of a "flat" shell holder surface without needing to swap out the jaws for an actual shell holder.

I've recently moved on from the Derraco primer seating kit to a Primal Rights PCPS - and now that the Derraco is sold, I'm finding that I'm unable to source a similarly made flat top adapter anywhere. Heck, I don't even really know the technical term for what I'm searching for. If it helps, it's what you see in this kit here: https://www.derraco.com/product/pcps-adapter-for-forster-co-ax/

Do any of you fine folks have any tips? Or am I SOL, and am I stuck shelling out another $50 for the Derraco adapter kit once more, just for that flat top shell holder?
 
I got a friend of mine to make me one with his lathe for my Forster. It fits in the jaws like a 308 sized case. It’s about 1/2-5/8” long and I got him to bore a hole in the middle with a flat bottom so I didn’t have to balance or hold on to my bullets while pointing them with my Whidden pointing die. . It’ll do 6mm, 7mm and 308 class bullets. Pretty simple and saves lots of hassle. I’ll try to send you a picture when I get off work. If you can’t get one made I’m sure my friend would make you one for next to nothing.
 
Ken I went to ugly reloading and took a quick look around at their products. I have no clue what most of that stuff is. When did I get so out of touch?
