Those bolts are too light and cheesy, for me.
Nothing like a solid 5/16 SS bolt...
No slop in the holes that way.

Its actually not bad at all for snagging.
It very rounded and machined the nuts as thin a possible.

I was to cheap. To make a new extend plate. (Actually it was a proof of concept, that became permanent)
A new VDH style extended plate design is in the works (stenciled on cardboard)... now I just need time to do it.

Yeah mate time, at least we always have something to do, forever, and it's a magnificent plate extension
but I still can't pass those pointy pokey nuts

I might have a something a little less cheesy

This is a bad solution.

You should never use a metal to metal connection for any piece of gear.

When it becomes tangled you have no way to cut it free.

Put it in your pocket
