In the past when I've wanted something that can't be readily bought anywhere, I've made my own.... For example, I always wanted a quality, old style block & tackle (lifting device) for suspension scenes. But not even the internet was much help - which is probably the path that's brought you here.
I've now got what I wanted but custom builds are not an easy path for most. To give you an idea of what I mean, I work in a small engineering/machine shop and so was able to do everything myself. I bought 2 stainless steel swivel-hooks on ebay and 6 sheaves (or rope pulleys) and a self-locking cam-cleat from a sail-boat store. Throw in assorted stainless steel bolts & nyloc nuts etc and around a hundred hours of sheet-metal work and machining - and presto, job done. Ok, I'm a quality nazi, so it is rather over-built but it does look the business - intimidating, even. Not a bad thing in this lifestyle, ay.... ;)
For any co-workers nosing around, I was just making an old-school lifting device. Which is where your custom toy would be more problematic if you can't do it all yourself, or know someone who both can and understands - or is at least discrete. And unlike my project, you hafta factor in that such a thing likely isn't gonna be a "one size fits all" kinda build.
That said, if you've got money to burn and can at least draw a basic design (with dimensions added), there's bound to be kink businesses that can accommodate, no questions asked. That, you can find on the internet.
Happy shackling.
Focus.
