Dave,

Are you sure?
I've set up a few of these and the mods you are suggesting are things that I
try to avoid.

Personally I do not like the backplate rocking wrt the cylinders, so I make
sure that any v-weights are not proud, and would never add nuts to shim it
as you suggest.

Also, once the straps are the correct length, I do not need the slack and
trapping the webbing keeps the straps as I want them. In fact I usually
put a weight retainer on the back of the BP at this point to STOP the
straps adjusting.

best
Paul
