Why did you choose to go with screws/ locknuts intead of screws and tapped plates?
Why are there standoffs on the middle set of holes that go into 2x1 or another mounting surface, instead of just holes and short screws?

lol, you're right, two-stage single speed. I went with locknuts instead of tapping the plate because I was worried that the 1/4 inch plate wouldn't be enough room for the threads. I put standoffs there just off of habit, I didn't even think about not having them.
