Anyone know where I can get an extension for Dewalt?

I've seen pictures and people have this 2 inch extension for the backing plate of the Dewalt rotary. It brings the pads a few inches further away from the polisher. Does anyone know where people are getting these from?
 
sorry but why would you want this?



I would think raising the center of gravity 2" would make the buffer harder to control
 
Jim - One of the issues in the past I had was getting into small areas. Around mirrors and spoilers specifically. The polisher would bump into body and it was just awkward. I was thinking if I separate the pad from the polisher even an inch or two I could get more of the pad under stuff.



I don’t know if the extension will help but I figured if they are cheap enough I would try it for a few minutes. If it messed up the feel of the machine I'd just ditch it. They are only 4.50, I'm bored and unless I prove a thought wrong it will never leave my head.



Funny you say it may mess up gravity. Even the girlfriend who is such a girly girl asked me if the extension would mess up the center of gravity because the machine would be top heavy. I looked at her and asked her where that came from; she's usually talking about making some elaborate dinner.
