I bottom tapped my holes and used the washers like your suposed to and have had no problems. also it took me 20 min to mod all 5 of my rocker pedestals, to me its worth doing right
did you do them with a grinder or just a flat file? i would love to see some pics of this

and yes i know bout the thinner coppers but most people dont know, or dont think about them

The hardest part about modding them is getting them set up in the mill.

Ah but a picture is worth a thousand words.
