I made my own, just took out the 2 top hub bolts, dropped a couple of washers in and tightened them back up. Bit of a bodge, but it worked.

Sorry, I meant the bottom 2 hub bolts. If you did the top ones it might look a bit odd.

make sure the end of the mug is 90 degrees to the floor, as if you put a ruler on the end it would be pointing up...
