Thanks Mars. I turned the spacers sideways and filled the pre existing screw holes that was not needed after mock up with metal filler and marked up the spacers and paddle for new holes that would attach both paddle and spacer with the greatest amount of stability. I mocked it up using electrical tape and was happy with the results . I used motzkopf idea and approach as he also used the clubsport paddle and spacers on his Dfpgt buttons . I see you also mounted your diy spacer to buttons with two screws. I appreciate any know how you can give me l of how far I can drill . Thanks again. sorry for the long post.
