Bill,

I had one of the pre-drilled phenolic blocks crack when I hammered in the
threaded insert.  You might ream the hole before insertion.

Also,  I spent many hours perfecting the width of the cleats to get them to
center in my slots.  I used washers and half thickness washers.  I found
myself dropping the washers numerous times working in a blind hole.  I
finally tac glued the washers to the inboard (hidden) side of the phenolic
blocks before inserting the bolts.  This cut down the frustration.

It works like a champ!
