At one time, replacement buckets were sold with several different adapters
for the different rims ... the adapter for the TR2-3 rims looked like a
small angle bracket, with a plain hole on one side to pop-rivet to the
bucket, and a formed hole on the other side to accept the screw from the
rim. Moss UK used to sell just the brackets, but they probably don't any
more.
Fabricating something similar would seem to be the best solution to me.
