I built a vise base out of an aluminum that was a scrap piece off of an old planer in a wood shop. The owner was throwing it out. – I just used a tap and die set to make way for a set screw, drilled a hole the diameter of the vise riser shaft, and installed the set screw to hold things in place. It works quite well. You could do something similar if you like. A piece of thick metal stock should work for you. I don’t know that it is worth the cost to purchase parts considering the fact that you can purchase the base for around $17. Of course, I like having unique things. If that is your goal, you should continue to work with the corian to build your base.
