I followed my plan of making clearance for the socket head cap screws on the upper mount locations. I had to grind back on the ribs a bit to make clearance for both the bolt and the hex socket that I used to tighten down the bolts.

I also had to drill out the threads in the upper holes on the Novak adapter.

Can't wait to see how the truck responds to all of the changes.
