i have a Maze3 on order and it hasnt shipped yet. i also ordered an extra top.

this is my plan:

i will bore out JUST the counter sunk hole, drop a washer in there, then put the screw through the washer. all of the pressure will then be spread out over a larger area and there shouldnt be any cracking!

sure the washer will have some overhang on the edge... but a dremel can fix that

what do ya guys think?
That should work. But maybe Dangerden can just move the bore in on the block a little, change the screws, and save everyone alot of hastle .
