Yeah its cake. Enjoy! I love having one at the house.
Love mine to death! It took hubby about a 1/2 hr to do the mods....he was almost done when I got home from work. Ours is really colorful too, cuz he used alternating yellow and green plastic chains on the inside. It doesn't have that same loud, satisfying, "ching" sound, but it makes it much easier for me to carry it around, and I think the neighbors are much happier

It's lacking now that the OP's photo links have depreciated, but the info is still good.
This gallery has pics of my mod'ed basket:

FYI - I came across this thread while looking for something else.
I'm in the process of building my own basket and came across an oustanding find today.
Ace Hardware has the absolute *perfect* thing for the ring on these baskets.
They call it a "welded ring". They have them in all sizes including a 2 1/2" version which works perfectly for a standard galvanized pole. They also had them smaller which would work for some of the prefab units which use a smaller diameter pole.
It's like the thing was freaking made for a disc golf chain ring. It was the one thing I thought would be impossible to come up with but this is a jewel.
It cost me exactly $1.00

Ha, try living in the "High Rockies".
This is what a "disc golf" search looks like right now. Those results are amazing compared to the usual nothing that comes up even though both are almost 2 hours from where I am.

Does the instep Chain mod work for the M14 baskets. I am also interested in getting one.
Here is some pics of mine with the extra chains. I used a #6 wire for my ring:
