Worth noting about #3 and that installation thread, is that Nick suggests using 14 in/lbs of torque on the CH V3 plate RMR screws. It apparently is working for him, but the instructions that came with my recently received CH V3 plate state 9.5 in/lbs of torque.
In that same thread, @
ssb used 14 in/lbs of torque on his V3 plate, and (much) later had the bosses break when trying to replace a battery. Possibly a coincidence, but worth noting the torque value differences and potential pitfalls.
I used Vibra-Tite VC-3 and the recommended 9.5 in/lbs to play it safe. Time will tell how that works out.
