Larry - wow, best solution I heard yet. Especially if this plate rest
flush against the bottoms of side of the mount plate. You could then lock
the bolts with a nut against the threaded plate after it is tightened.
Elegant.
I was half thinking to make a tab washer connected to both bolts, and
security wire the bolts together, but I think your solution makes much
more sense.
