@KcSwerver you will need to make a slot out of the set of holes on the opposite side of the plate from the adjuster as well. The reason this needs to be done is so that when adjustments are made the screw opposite the adjuster has clearance to be able to clamp. Without doing this it would end up not lining up due to the material in between the current set of holes being in the way and covering the threaded insert. We include one of the aluminum recessed slot washers to use in the new slot. You shouldn't need anything outside of what we send along to mount this to your set up.
@horton just start a thread called "The @MS fan ban starts here" and move all off topic chatter into it. The thread would be to quote @wish "epic" and provide hours and hours of entertaining reading. It would also allow us to find all of the fun in one section instead of looking for it amongst real conversations.
@eleeski is right!
@todd You are correct, the plate needs to have slots anywhere that there is a screw in order for the adjustment to work correctly. The screw that locks the clamp down is longer than the standards to ensure good thread engagement. The extra aluminum washer that's needed for the slot opposite the adjusting attachment is included in the hardware.
I will add that when I attached the prototype to my animal plate I attached it over one of the rear slots and skipped the center holes all together. That being said one could attach this over an existing slot, find your setting by making the small adjustments and then only drill/slot a small portion of the existing screw holes in the center of the plate giving you the clearance you would need to fasten the center of the binding down and have some adjustment left. In the end I ended up machining slots out of all of my center holes.
Hey ballers, a while back @horton made a request for an attachment that would give more options and make small accurate adjustments to binding placement.
The attached image shows an assembly we are currently manufacturing to accomplish this. This attachment allows you to make adjustments of under 1/16 of an inch accurately and quickly. They are made from 6061 aluminum and finished with a black anodize. There will be a website up soon with links for purchase as well as adjustment and mounting videos. The unit will be priced at $75.00 ea and will include the bits and hardware necessary to mount as well as shipping within the U.S. There will also be an option to have us mount this to your plate using our precision milling machine for you if you are concerned about damaging your plate. This charge will be an extra $20.00. If you would like to purchase now you can contact me through my ball of spray account. We are working to get the website up and running for this coming week. I anticipate a 2-3 week delivery time right now as we are just starting to build these units in production.
Have a great weekend!
They own the companies and have others work for them. No degree for that. Passion, dedication, hard work ( no harder than your thinking), vision, leadership, a willingness to fail until you succeed.
Switched all of mine to flat head cap screws with an allen drive. I still check before each set but have not found a loose screw since and never have the pesky stripped drive. I also use a Wiha torque driver so I don't accidentally over tighten and strip the inserts.
