    If that existing mount is say 80mm and the new spindle is 57mm, you might be able to make a sleeve to slide over the spindle, which would then go into the existing mount.

    In that case you only have a few options. You could cut the existing mount all the way across at the first outer fin closest to the bearings in the back. Then take a flat piece of 1/4" aluminum and bolt that to what is left of the old mount. Then drill holes in the 1/4" aluminum plate for the new mount that supports the new spindle. The other option is to design and build and entirely new mount assembly including the bears.
