Not sure where you can still get them, but it looks like you need the C100 hub style. We used the Nitrile (Buna-N?) spyders in the past since they are the softest and offer the most misalignment error.

You would need to make a sleeve to make the bore smaller as Andy has described in the past. Simply broach a hex in the coupling and make a corresponding insert out of aluminum or steel with the 1/2" keyed bore you require.
