There is a guy on ebay that sell the plates that you can weld on any attachment. They are heavy duty 3/8 inch thick and sell for $80 plus shipping. For less than $100 you can have some already fabricated and ready to go. I ordered some, shipping was immediate and they are great.
Go to ebay, select business and industrial, then select heavy equipment, then select skid steer and scroll down until you find them. There are several guys offering them for various prices but the ones for $80 for 3/8 inch plates and sides is the one I bought.

The Society of Automotive Engineers published standard SAE J2513 which gives the dimensions of the attachment mount.

The files is too big to upload to this site but the link above will open a copy.

Does anybody know if there are mounting brackets available for the Bobcat mini-x? I would like to build some attachments and would like to find some mounts already built

We have a local outfit, a one man show, that sells skid stuff …. he'll ship anywhere in Canada cheap ….. www.glcequipment.com …… his name is Guy Lord, i've bought a few things from him including mounting plates, he's big on the Blue Diamond products and if I remember correctly they handle mini stuff too ….. hope this helps …. Good-luck !

Sorry I guess I was thrown off by the thread title …… Never heard the anyone call an excavator mount a plate before, that usually refers to a skid mount …. learn something new everyday

Also sorry, thread forked. I have seen adapters that allow you to mount skid-steer attachments to an excavator, but they are expensive.

you might be able to use an excavator xchange mount for a breaker, and adapt it to what you need
