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. Terry Farrell ------=_NextPart_001_0035_01C5A7E6.3C07FBC0 An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
