I felt so dumb when I realized that I didn't actually need any sort of special adaptor.
In a pinch, a 1/4 thread bolt could be used and you would just have to cut the head off. It would be wise to cut a groove at the same time so you could at least use a flathead screwdriver to remove it.
This bolt allowed me to mount the Velbon QR plate upside down to the other side of the Giottos tripod.
