Clarinet mouthpiece adapter, home made

So, having done multiple searches, I'd like your kind input on mp adapters, if any of you have ever made a good one. I have 3 'best' clarinets- an Albert Buffet from 1929 (hard to play, finger-stretch tricky for me), an LL, mid-60's, and the 'new' one, a 1907 very early Boehm Buffet in rosewood, with an integrated barrel, which is shaping up to be the best for tone and intonation versus playability.

The mp/barrel combo which I like for all of these is the BC Albert mp on the Albert BC barrel.
Problem: the Albert BC mp is by far the best on the Boehm BC clarinet, but the tenon is too slim.

I don't want to re-cork it or it won't work with the other set-up. Has anyone ever made a tenon socket 'filler' to suit a slimmer-line mp tenon?
Suggestions?
