Hi all, I was just sitting here for a moment, seeing what's new on the list. I've been following the Adjustable plate screws thread a little more closely than some, although I don't think I've read every word. A thought came to mind. (This is what happens when you're poor!) What would happen if a guy took some threaded rod, whatever diameter you wanted it to be, and cut it into the appropriate lengths, smoothed out the cut off end to make it look pretty, (not necessary 'cause it'll get covered up, but it might save a bit of blood... think about it), stuck a lock nut on it at an appropriate location (for underneath), and cut a nice little slot in the top for a big ol' screw driver. How's that for cheap?? The biggest hassle I can think of is finding the acorn nuts to go on the top of the bolts when you're done. But hey, if all you can find is the industrial no frills steel variety, there's always the possibility of sending them out with the other stuff when you have it replated! Just some musings from the peanut gallery. (I'll go crawl back under my rock now... maybe it would be a good time to work on my last will and testament... "I Grog, <dink, dink, dink> leave you, Grog, Jr. <dink, dink, dink, dink, dink>, my wheel <dink, dink>. And to my wife, <dink, dink, dink>, who's shrill cry scares the mastodon <DINK, DINK, DINK, DINK>, I leave <dink, dink> this stick <dink, dink>.) Sorry, just havin' a bit of fun... Have a good day, all. Brian Trout Quarryville, PA btrout@desupernet.net
