Jerry, Your LBS can order you this one http://harriscyclery.net/site/page.cfm?PageID=49&SKU=CR0500 from QBP, part #CR0500. If you don't have a good LBS nearby, just get it from Harris.

Or this much cheaper ($25-$30) one http://www.jbimporters.com/nondealer/product-closeup.phtml?id=20226 from J&B, part #20226

(The J&B item is just the adaptor, the ISIS spindle and bolts shown in the illiustration are separate items.)
