F450 Flight controller

[V8Volvo245]

Hi all. I'm new to mulitrotors but not RC and have what I hope is a simple question:
I'm building a 450 quad, and presume these came into existence before 30x30 Flight Controllers became a standard. I have a Speedy Bee F405stack that I want to use on my 450 but the holes on the top plate don't line up.
I was hoping that someone had developed a 3D print mount/adapter but suspect that I'm using the wrong search terms as I'm struggling here. I'm an old fart after all!
For all hose of you that tell me not to go the 450 route I'm not planning on racing or doing freestyle, I just want to get up in the air and take some video. I'm also building a couple of Eclipson fixed wing models for FPV for this too. For the quad, I've already bought the motors, the frame and FC, so I'm building it! 😜

I have done this many years ago.... let me see how I mounted it....

Ah, I did it with a knock off A450 frame that had 30x30 mount holes. My F450 does not have the same mounting.

I would use something like this and use double sided foam tape to mount it to the plate.

UPDATE - Jan 4th, 2020 Addition of modified part with a bit higher spacer and separated spacer M3 holes. Seems to be working better in my case with Mamba F405 Mk2 stack. Pack of mounting plate 30x30 for drone / quadcopters Flight controller mount 30x30: Flight controller mount 30x30_1-6: Plate...

Thanks- that's what I was thinking myself but my printer decided that yesterday was a perfect time to throw a hissy fit and not print any internal structures, infill or top layers! Got it all sorted now, though. One of the planes I'm currently printing has a flight controller mounting and as I was printing it I thought "why don't you just print off another one of these, you idiot?"
