Hi John:
I have a collection of those wooden bushings that I never seem to use.
My thought would be this: If the caster plate fits into the recess where
the old caster was, put screws in to hold it in place, tap the caster into
the socket and call it good. I don't think you will have any problem. I
have installed over 40 sets this way with no failures.
