Hi Kirk: Stripped plate bolt threads would be a serious problem. It would negate much of what I wrote previously. I had just never seen it happen. I guess that's why the Randy Potter's was quoted as "do not tighten SD10 plate bolts." Someone else who apparently worked in the factory mentioned what they did with the inserts to correct that problem, so I guess it has happened. I was just ignorant of it. I would guess that stressing the plate 1/4 inch between two plate bolt holes could have broken the plate.
