Before using, use anti-seize on every bolt and screw. I just snapped off a thread extractor in the second seized bolt. At this point, I think it's going in the garbage. I could live with the rounded out bolt on the top paddle, I just worked around it by adjusting the base and the bottom paddle. But now, I've got a screw extractor broken off in one of the set screws in the base, so the only part I can adjust is the bottom paddle.
Not really slamming Sub Moa (although his responsiveness has been so poor in the past that I never bothered to email him about the first stripped bolt). I just want to make it clear that you are tightening a steel bolt into a threaded aluminum block, and you have to tighten things down pretty good to keep them from moving. So this is really a note to past me: Anti-seize will keep you from being frustrated in the future.
