It is a lag bolt with a allen screw top of differing lengths threaded into a machined hole in the top. The length of allen screw will vary in length depending on the thicknes of your plate bosses so it can be tightened down with a cap screw. Since Stwy plate to soundboard clearances are ,as you know, minimal , I've had him turn the head of the lag bolt down so its thickness is no more than 3 mm thick. Plenty strong to sit a plate on and usually avoids having to drill forstner bit recesses into the board for clearance. Clearance problems are usually not a problem on Mason& Hamlins and others. Last I checked he charged me 10 bucks a piece. Dirt cheap for what goes into them. >>>>>>>Dale Erwin>>>>>>>. > List, Ron esp. > > I have used the set screw plate support system Ron detailed in the Journal > and on this list some time ago on the last several soundboards I have > installed.
