Same problem here.
To get me out of the woods, I had a piece of 1" x 3/8"aluminium bar
lying around. I cut it to length and drilled a 3/8" hole through it and
then a hole right through the side, to take a M5 tap. I stuck a M5 screw
in each side, in lieu of grub screws and used the hacksaw to cut a
groove in the end of the bar, to act as a pointer.
Rough enough and good enough until something better is found.
