There was no adjustment left in them so I had no choice and the mounting holes are so close to the edge there's no material on them to ream out. I had to lock the round part down, take it out and offset it to one side. These are from Mar-k. I'd like a little more material on both sides of the mounting hole if you're still listening James.
Yeah it looks like someone didn't measure twice.
