A mechanic I know had some home made versions of these, he just cut the bases off of some old junk cylinders.
Pull a cylinder, install a base plate & torque, move on to the next one.
Cylinder replacement...... DANGER! DANGER!

There is a lycoming part number for them. I’ve seen them mentioned in one of the manuals. Lycoming one is horrendously expensive. I had to pull the cyl on a 66 hr engine. I didn’t want to risk anything. I read(online so take it with a grain of salt) the problem comes from pulling the cyl and then turning the prop you could spin a bearing. I’ll be using the plates from here out. Plus the the 66 hr engine I sent the nickel coated cyl back to the manufacture to hone. Figured I had no idea how long the cyl would be off for, can’t be good leaving it sit without the torque for long? Who knows.

If your case moves that much to unlock a bearing from the lock recess when a cylinder comes off...........ummmm...
