LX90 Bolt Holes for Wedge Sizing

[upahill]

My heart rate has finally returned to normal and after a close call have decided to replace the bolts that came with the mount. The ones supplied by the seller were non OEM and too short, I also feel the thread engagement is very poor.

Has anyone upgraded these to bolt/knob combo and if so what sizes did you go for?

Juggling was never my strong point and I really dont want to play catch in the dark again with a 10" SCT

I believe it is these three holes that I am using to mount the fork to the wedge. Pic shamelessly ripped from the web so cant confirm until I head out to the obsy again.

Or the Bay. 

But doesn't the LX90 require an adapter plate to mount on a wedge.? Unlike LX200 It doesn't have those three holes, only the central one.?

Brain fart, its an LX10 not an LX90 - I keep getting that one mixed up 🤔

The previous owner had 3 short bolts going through those holes, the bolts were only around 1 1/2" long and it didnt feel like they were engaging properly and would become loose if overtightened,

I have attached a picture from the original listing, perhaps that plate is already attached but is attached to the mount and not the wedge? It does look like there is a middle piece in place.

It's only the 90 that doesn't have three holes. 

Be careful with the screw length or it could make intimate contact with the electronics in the base.......

Cheers, i suspect that metric replacements were used and too small, will measure the depth and get some ordered, with grips hopefully.
