Looking for a leveling plate or ball for Wimberley gimbal. (1 Viewer)

I have a Nikon ED82-A connected to a Wimberley WH-200 gimbal on a Robus RC-5570 tripod. Everything fits fine together. I am interested in adding to the set up a leveling base or a 75 mm half ball adapter. The problem I have is that I cannot find a leveling base/half ball that has the anti-rotation set screws that fit with the narrow base on the WH-200. The Robus 75mm Half Ball Adapter is a good example. It has 3 anti-rotation set screws but they are further apart than the diameter of the WH-200 base--I found that I out after having ordered it. The Gitzo leveling base (GSLVLS) doesn't even appear to have set screws.

What do you Wimberley users have? Any suggestions? I know I could just go back to leveling it properly with the tripod legs, but I am trying to make it more convenient for my wife to use. Thank you.
 
Firstly, welcome to Birdforum.
But why would you need a levelling base? It's useful for video or panorama photography but completely unnecessary for scope use.
