Oh please, no - not another 5DIII-related fix involving TAPE...

I'm not too worried since i'm going to modify the base with a dermel so i can recess a black rapid TR-1 into it anyway i'll just clean up the wierd ridge thing myself, warranty goes out the window anyway once the dremel comes out anyway :P and yes I am crazy :D

I believe he wants to carve out enough room on the bottom of the plate to replace the allen screw with an R-T1 D-Ring Bolt for his BR strap. That would keep him from having to remove the D-ring every time he wants to use a tripod. Good idea, I wish plate makers realized how many people use this type of strap.

you can see photos of my "modified" L brackets here

I also had to take the dremel to the lip around the thread and shaft of the BR TR-1 connector too to help it fit
another thing i have noticed that the rough metal to metal interface locks it in so tight they have zero chance of accidentally coming undone Its actually a bit of a pain to take them off but i take the L brackets off the cameras so rarely its a non issue.
