Thanks, Cliff. I need to do this. To clarify for my understanding, the only modification you did was to the bolt? Or did you also countersink the plate a little?

Great update, looking for the same questions that Eric asked just to be crystal clear. Machine the bolt boss and countersink the stock plate for the bolt head, correct?

Uhh, okay ... got that, I think. Not really. Sure, fully understood. Maybe.

You can scale down your large pics in Paint (on a PC). Or download LightBox for a simple and free solution.
