That is nearly exactly the word I got from the head of S&S
Hamburgs technical support section just a couple weeks ago.

But then he also mentioned that a bit tighter was ok too as
long as it increased sustain. I would be real carefull about
tightening this myself without having some way of knowing
just how much the plate was being stressed.

Cheers
