I think this is the way.

    Along with Bob's suggestion you may want to consider this. I use tabs similar to Bob but use 4-40 blind mounting nuts. On the 4-40 screw I use a roofing nail washer which are available at Home Depot, key word "cheap". I would suggest you take a 4-40 screw with you and get the smallest size washer. These washers are convex and have a piece of rubber glued to them. I find this system works great on any fiber glass, wood or the junk plastic which comes with some kits. So far, over a period of several years I have yet to have a crack in any of the mentioned materials where the bolt hole is located.


  Aside from admiring Ed's idea, another thought kept crashing around in my brain, "How did Ed get a photo on the NSRCA Discussion List?" Come on Ed, fess up.

    Many of you offerred much-needed ideas on the solution to a 10-screw nightmare.  Here's the best I could do...thanks to those who made this a reality....now we'll see if it will WORK.
        This was the last step before balancing, and it's RTF.  Finally.
