afran, that is exactly what i was going to do exept leave alittle tit on the end of the cut nuts so i wouldn't have to use washers. however, i am putting my 30t on a kencor jigstick and the bolt/nuts are perfect length. i just need to get a better clamp that cradles the blank/reelseat better around it instead of putting direct pressure on the back of the blank/reelseat. i crushed a reelseat trying to tighten it up. too much pressure in one area instead of being distributed around with that stock 30t clamp.
