The adapter plate comes with the pedals so you can use three hole shoes but as mentioned Sidi now makes a speedplay version (which gives you lower stack height).

Assuming you don't have the CrMo spindles... buy the approriate Torx driver, buy a set of CrMo pedals (the 'cheap' version), swap the pedal bodies onto your spindles. It's an absolute bitch to get the bolts out of the spindles (loctite'd in place), but they always come out in the end.
And for everyone else...
Get this grease gun.
Always use the wear plate, even when using the plastic platform.

From what I know, most people get adaptors (which come as a kit with new speedplay set)
I am considering myself the Sidi Ergo 3 speedplay ready (4 screws), but haven't got three yet, the regular 3 screw shows with adapters are doing just fine

But then Speedplay would sue you like they did with the guy who was selling his own servicing kits (bearings, etc.).

May be able to make those. It worries me that the screw heads might wear down on mine to the point that they won't come out. I think they should be recessed a bit further. Actually titanium would be excellent for that bottom plate.

Ooooooh - weigh weenie as well! And you could do fixed-position holes to stop the cleats from moving across the shoe.
If you do go into production, you will move a stack of these - cleat replacement is something we all bitch about. I'd take two pair to start with, and a couple of spare 'right' plates, and I know someone else who would grab a pair plus spares as well.
