---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Terry Sorry I didn't' have time to respond the other day to your question. By the way the Coleman plate suspension system is a 3 inch lag bolt with a roughly 1/2"long by 14 inch allen screw installed in a drilled hole in the top of the bolt. It is welded in place as well as a set screw from the side. The allen screw is just long enough to fit through the individual plate bosses. Which means measuring each boss so that the correct length of machine screw protrudes from the top of the bolt thru the boss & enough left over for the cap nut , just as yours is finished up with. The plate rest on the top of the bolt. I always have the bolt head thickness machined to about .100 or less so I'm not drilling huge holes in the edge of the soundboard & liner.for clearance should the plate need to be set low as many S&Ss are. It probalby doesn't matter. The plate is not threaded & the bolt can be turned up or down incremantally by removing the cap nut ,inserting an allen wrench & turning up or down slightly. One or two bolts at a time can be tweaked up or down a bit even at pitch. Fairly clever & about 10 bucks a pop. Thanks Dale Nice lookin board in rons D. Wide planks. Like that. I want to hear it in concert. For me hearin is the fun part. Probably need to go to SMU though. Is that in Texas? ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
