[QUOTE="b'knighted, post: 22868, member: 59"] Hi Vince, I like the avatar which shows the eyes rolling. I assume it is new but if you look back to previous posts to check it is on them all. When pulling the springs down with the plate you obviously tighten each a little at a time so it stays level(ish). Once they are tight the plate is flat down on all the springs so the countersunk screws do not have to do any of the compression. If your plate is more flexible you could use an extra ring, with six of its holes big enough for the screw heads to pass through, to hold it all flat until six of the screws are in. this would then be removed with the studs. I had wanted to find countersunk shakeproof washer for the slotted screws but don't feel the need now I know that they are nipped up without fighting th springs. The wooden handled box spanner is like a screwdriver handle on a hexagonal tube and was in my Knight toolkit already as I also use it as handle for cover screw Allen keys. It lets you apply torque to the short end of the Allen key while using the long ball end in the screw head. It was just lucky that it was 2BA as it’s the only one I've got and is probably as old as the bike. I find that the little tricks have reduced the amount that I oil my foot rest rubbers. [/QUOTE]
