Good question, Cliff.
We also discussed this issue. The distance of thread engagement was 0.485 with the current version. With the new version (Rev4), the engagement will be lessened by 0.125, resulting in 0.36. Since there is a taper on the end of the screw, the last 0.15" (approximately) can't be relied on with regard to screw thread engagement. So, we now have about 0.21" of engagement. Since it's a 10-24 screw (with 24 threads per inch), that means we now have 5 threads of engagement at each screw. With 6 screws all having this same engagement, we believe that this will be enough. However, we will make a test and report back if this is good or not.
