First: I use two Manfrotto lo-profile #3410 three-way pan-heads on my two
main set of legs. These heads use a roughly 2"x2" QR plate.  I also have a
Bogen ball-head for LF which uses a much smaller plate.  I am replacing 
the
ball-head with something way more substantial and I want to add a
Bogen/Manfrotto QR adapter that will accept the 2x2 plates that the other
heads accept.  There is nothing in the current line that does this, but I 
am
wondering if there once was.  I really want to standardize on one QR plate
and I really like the #3410 heads.

I guess there is a question in there somewhere, anyway it prompts me to 
recount what I did with QR plates.  I have used the small rectangular 
Manfrotto QR system for a long time and have amassed several plates which 
live permanently on bodies, telescopes, etc.  When I recently got the 
wonderful 410 geared head it has it's own special plate - much larger - 
and this fouls on the adaptall ring of big 'Ron.  Not wanting to mix and 
match plates all over the place I found a Manfrotto 323 QR adaptor on 
their website, which is a QR base that attaches to a regular 1/4 or 3/8 
screw.  I fitted this to the 410 plate and now my 410 effectively has the 
small rectangular plate.  I guess you are looking for something similar 
for your 2'' square plates...
Well good luck anyway,
