How poorly I understand your post. If you measure from the rim top to the plate for the perimeter (which is what I do - only I usually just use a block of wood), why does it matter whether he case is refinished? Regarding nose bolts, you measure from the top of the plate to what? And why do you measure nose bolts? I always adjust my nosebolts based on my final plate position. Could you please elaborate?
