After a short spell with a hacksaw and 8BA tap we have the following arrangement
I've lost the whole section of chassis from underneath where the body fixing sticks out, so the drawbar pin and it's carrying plate plus the whole lump that supported the flangeless pony wheel has gone to make room for the swinging rear pony.
The exisiting pony fixing hole was drilled out 1.8mm and tapped 8BA to take a triang/Hornby bogie screw. A conventional 8BA cheesehead screwed into the tapped hole in the pony and Robert is your Father's brother, as they say 
The photo shows the drawbar set with the largest gap, the close coupled option is still workable for layouts with very gentle curves/display purposes .....
