Hi -
I mounted the weight plates to my singles rig with the provided 3/8" screws and also used the longer 1/2" screws at the glide adapter attachment point. I noticed that none of the screws go all the way to the end of the threads .i.e. at least 2-3 threads on the plate are unused (attached photos that show this). Has anyone else noticed this? I saw the exact same thing on both rigs we have and I unmounted and remounted all plates tightly to make sure I wasn't making any obvious mistakes.
The entire setup feels pretty secure and I didn't feel any movement or play when I shook it with a fair bit of violence. I'm just trying to make sure I'm not doing anything wrong while attaching the weight plates.
I tried using the 1/2" screw in one of the "normal" mounting holes and it fits perfectly. It doesn't stick out at all (if anything, even the 1/2" screw doesn't go all the way to the end of the weight plate). I'd rather not use longer screws than necessary and risk damaging the wing.
I'm curious what others have done mounting the weight plates.
Thanks in advance,
