 I'm fast coming to the same conclusion Jacques, ie. easier to scratch build than try to modify the very thick repros, which appear to be way too small in clamp diameter.  I suspect you may be right about the Chinese manufacturers - they got their IDs mixed up with their ODs!  Maybe the Mac's ones will be closer to original but I'm not hopeful.
