You should just buy some more Duck Tape. And it comes in all kinds of pretty colours and patterns, just like gift wrap

I bought one of these:

It looks like the two drive cage should fit on top of the lower drive cage.

If this all works, you could have:

The cage is KC230.

The sleds are U6436 or YJ221.

The sleds from the T20 do not fit.

The sleds from the T20 do not fit.

Are there any equal alternatives? The price for the KC230 incl. shiping to germany is too high.
