@BillyG and others.I spent some time looking through my image file and found what I was talking about. I think it would be relatively easy to make a non invasive quick mount arrangement of this idea. ......
TYVM @Irv - yup - I have a good picture in my head on that now.
Oh - and I'm sure your grandson will appreciate the instrument and attention to detail you put into it ! Well done ! ( And of course, wishing you and yours a contented and peaceful time over the upcoming holiday period! Cheers! )
I seriously recommend not copying my mistakes. D'oh - 
Please make your own, different mistakes, and help us all learn :-)

@BillyG and others. The task (with a restricted time line) needed to be done anyway. The incremental labor to “blog” it was trivial for me. I am thankful that Fiddlerman supports the forum that allows such things to be posted. There is a lot of items here that could be put to some use by others. Recognition of value on a “free good” is another topic entirely.

@Irv -
So great you made your Grandson VERY happy.
This has been a very helpful thread, full of GREAT ideas!
Thank you!
Grandchildren are the best gift I've ever received!

@Irv Thanks for this, it inspired me to change the bridge on my daughters Violin. She hasn't wanted to play it much recently so I thought a little upgrade would make it more special. I got a fitted Aubert bridge and followed Fiddlerman's video on resurrecting a fallen bridge to install the new one. Its much better than the previous.

@Fashionandfiddle and others.
I am glad you tried it. The fit of bridge on small student violins is pretty bad. I can’t imagine attempting to play on some that I have seen. The roasting of the wood for the bridge is easy, is something that I find interesting, and works well.
An update. My grandson brought his new found “cello” rosin to school today to treat his bow there. He loves that stuff.
