---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Terry, Screws through the board around the rim, and big flathead screws into the original bolt holes to act as jacks. Just reach through the bolt holes with a narrower flathead screwdriver and raise or lower the plate as needed. The screw heads can be then indexed to the rim for dowel height placement. Saves a bit on "fine tuning" the plate later.
