MG34 on Yugo MG42 Lafette?

Can someone provide a sketch or drawing of a mod to or a replacement trigger actuator for a Yugo 42 Lafette that would work for an MG34? Anybody sell them? Seems like I could drift out the axis pin for the 42 tripod spring-loaded trigger actuator and replace it with some homemade steel "finger" that would engage the MG34 trigger using the existing leftover machined steel trigger mounting stub that connects to the trigger actuator mechanism buried in the right side of the sled. I'm using a TNW adapter block. The MG34 trigger guard hangs up on the 42 tripod's trigger actuator mechanism when I go to set the MG34 on the 42 tripod. I don't want to mod any of the existing 42 tripod parts as I need them for my SA MG42. I have access to machining tools and welding. Thanks!!
