Try tapping one of the plates and using a shoulder bolt. Maybe some spacers between the bolthead and the bearing inner race. That solves both your problems and probably saves you a few more ounces.
I really don't think you need a PEM nut in such a thick plate when you could just tap it.
In any case, don't beat yourself up over it. Only 24 teams get to play in elimination rounds. Sometimes you're in the 24, and sometimes you aren't. - jgannon [more]
