Thanks for all the help. Used a combination. Came up with the "Big Red" method. Sure someone has already done it. Only requirement is a large clamp or vise. Follow directions in the manual with first foot and insert bail in that foot. Take other foot and put the regular screws in. Chew some bubble gum (Big Red) and put a little over the screw to hold them all the way in. Insert in vise or clamp and tighten until screws line up and insert foot and tighten. I used a bench mounted wood faced carpenters vise. The whole process took about 5 minutes (including time to get all the gum out). I see there is a slight bow in the plate but will flatten when screwed on. Thanks again! Jim
