No you're understanding me but I hadn't noticed the pigtail before. The bearing plate should be able to be fabricated with a leg to do the same job but I see now why they cheaped out. The part would need to be pretty tough and have a polished surface to avoid galling. Dern. I'm going to take my bolt apart tonight and see if I can't actually design the part. Then I'll let the design out and someone else can manufacture them.
