You're getting warm...

Sam	You're getting warm... Yeah Steve, it bugged the hell out of me! You've got it right about taking the excess off with a Dremel tool, but you take it off of the bottom. I just measure the difference that is protruding from the top and take that amount off of the bottom. I grind them so that they are flush with the top of the saddle. Yes, you lose that little dimple on the bottom, but that screw ain't going nowhere once it's under tension. And you've still got your screw slots! Sam
