    Jim Coleman Jr. has a plate support system that's similar that I've used. 
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.
