thanks Jay but i figured out I could just take it all out and put a standard 10-32 through the whole and put a thin nylon insert nut on the back, dont know what made me think I HAD to use the existing hardware in the first place.
The percentage you're paying is too high-priced
While you're living beyond all your means
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
From the profit he's made on your dreams
