Pretty slick mount. Would it be possible to mount this on the top bolts and avoid the washers?
Unfortunately no. The washers are there to get it away from the stem faceplate. The recessed bolts on my stems make that really hard to machine without cutting away so much aluminum material from the mount that I think it would be pretty weak and might bend/break off too easily. Maybe on the 3rd version I could give it a try to see how strong it might be. I put the washers between the mount and the bolt head too to make sure the load is evenly distributed on the plate. The metal is pretty soft. Makes it easy to work with and machine though.
