Hi Martin

I would suggest you make a new base plate, they are easy to make with a drill press all you need is some 1/4" thick plastic (clear) two Forstner Bits one that is 1 3/16" and one the is 1 3/8" ,I would suggest a square one 8" x 8" ,it's quicker to make and can be used in many diff. ways unlike a round one..

You have the bolt pattern to drill the mounting holes once you remove the one from the router you now have...

Then you can use the stardard brass guides that will stand up to many router jobs...

You can also buy the bigger guides if you want 1 1/2" ID x 1 3/4" OD that will go up to 1 1/2" ID on the brass guide..unlike the norm of 1" ID..
