You can get longer cap screws from Micro Fasteners, or McMaster Carr. Also you could re-tap the backing plate with a #8x32 tap, use a good cutting oil. You should for sure use the backing plate. RCV...

You can not post video on the site, but you can put a link to a site, such as putfile.com or on yahoo.com.
