Well, as long as it is show and tell time, I guess I'll jump into the =
fray! Below is a picture of the system/parts/tools I am using for plate =
support and adjustment. Pretty much the same as Ron N and others, except =
I think I interject a little bit of overkill for better sleep. As =
someone pointed out, often the original screw holes are not very =
straight. So I just drill them out with a half-inch bit and epoxy in =
hardwood plugs. Then I line up the plate properly and drill nice =
straight holes with my overhead drill press. Then I tap the holes (tap - =
with extension - is the long silver thing on top). I have a long hex bit =
(lower right) that I chuck into an electric drill for most of the =
screwing action. Then I use the red-handled hex-bit "T" driver for =
fine-tuning the height. Three of the 4" x 3/8"-16 set screws are on the =
lower left. The left most is bare, the center one has the thin nylon =
lock nut that the plate sits on, and the right one has the acorn nut =
that goes on top of the plate (I also put a ss washer between the acorn =
nut and the plate). This system seems to work quite well.
