Step 3Making Room For The 1/4"-20 Nut

Making Room For The 1/4\"-20 Nut

With the base disassembled, the interior of the parts must be cleaned out to make room for the 1/4"-20 nut. I initially thought the base's upper half needed modification, but it turned out it did not need any modification, or only very little, since the lower half is deep enough.

With the hobby knives, cut down the reinforcing webbing in the base's lower half to make room for the nut. First I cut down into the webbing and then cut with the webbing to peel it away.

Continue to remove the webbing until the nut fits flush against the inside of the base's lower half. The plastic is very soft and can be easily carved away with the hobby knife.
