<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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 </FONT><FONT face=Arial
size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
