Could make little triangle wedge things that go over on the baseplate side to make the bolts not bend?
Counteracts the angle so the bolts pushing a flat surface

LoL look at this image from sk8kings
Either those are fake bolts that just barely go in, or can you imagine what they look like inside of there 
You’d spend a week trying to put that together

Makes me want to make an adjustable baseplate that clings on to a current baseplate and somehow hinges it…hmm. Like an adjustable riser
Would work with all trucks

Hi affordable gear lovers. Got a few pics of my setup with the case open. Applied a fresh greasing and added a video so you can hear how the M1 drives sound. I’m personally obsessed with how they sound under braking.

So I’m assembling my drives and it seems that the two screws that hold the larger gear on to the wheel adapter are rubbing when I put the assembly together. Did I do something wrong here? Is my hardware too tall?
Use the button heads

I mean eventually it would wear down and everything would fit so whatever

I’d just file the bolt heads wherever it rubs. If it still rubs, file it some more.

Okay thanks guys. I’ve had a hard time coming up with metric hardware that fits exactly what’s recommended. Metric selection at local stores here in the US very limited. 
Don’t buy stuff locally if you’re in the USA. Order it online.

It should have button heads in the hardware bag included just for the gear mounting specifically. No need to buy any

So are you saying I will have to build a new board for my retired Gummies just to use this gear drive?
