Henry Miller-reprise

[Dean May]

I followed the original holes and they were not square. Couldn't get the
plate installed. Then I figured out that to crank the bolts all the way
down, install the plate, then raise the bolts back out through the plate
holes. It works.

Hence my highly sophisticated drill jig that appeared in a

Should your drill jig be not highly sophisticated enough. <G> 
Truth be told, it's close in the best of circumstances.
