    Does anyone know the thread pitch of the machine screws that attach the quick release plate to the Greg's wade extruder? The recessed holes for the bolts on my machine are worn and allow the bolts to turn, making it very difficult to loosen the quick release plate. I'm thinking about placing a washer below the nut so it sits above the recess. This will probably require a slightly larger screw, but I think there will still be clearance for the rest of the carriage hardware.
