my guess is in lieu of a having that extra (expensive) daruma, you could have not taken off that extra tab, opened up its hole with a drill, and used the daruma thats already at that fastening point. in my experience there's enough bolt for a little more to be sandwiched in there. the angle looks like it would have been close to if not exactly the same as where you currently have it.
either way thats a nice bit of hardware as the nitto mount is quite expensive. On Saturday, February 4, 2023 at 4:11:27 PM UTC-5 brok...@gmail.com wrote: > You’re right, Peter.
