At what vertical level would this plate be welded to the stem fitting?
I'm not sure I understand how what you describe will solve the problem,
as I see it.  I think I'm missing something.  A drawing would help me
understand what you mean.

If you look at
http://www.alberg30.org/maintenance/disorganized/bowroller/TomSutherland/Mvc-003f.jpg
you'll see that you can move the chocks without moving the pulpit
mounting.  There's several different approaches to the problem at
http://www.alberg30.org/maintenance/disorganized/bowroller/ and 
some pictures of the stem fitting at 
http://www.alberg30.org/maintenance/disorganized/Stem/ that might
interest you.

Unless it's been recaulked, you're likely to find air under the 
stem fitting.  The caulking probably fell out years ago.
