Well, I won't tell it if everyone will promise to keep their voice down
around mine 8*)
This actually make me quite happy. I was worried about dropping from 9
to 6 bolts. I'll still count on a backing nut, just because I don't
think my machining skills are on par with what the Ross people have, but
six 5/16 bolts will be more than sufficient for the role.
Also, you do not have to use a nut plate - assuming you put your holes
fairly close to the location that Ross and Tracy uses (near the perimeter)
you have space to get fingers on the back side to put a nut on the bolt.
