One of the big negatives I see to this is that most solid rollers have a small base circle and that would not work. Min base circle with Sealed Power lifters is 1.135, 1.080 with Gatermans.
The setup I ran back in the 80s was set of tall round bodied solid lifters with the internal link bars removed and the bodies cut on one side to "ride" on the plate. Very crude but worked great!
