I was teasing, of course, Mr. Grepper. I appreciate the thorough thought process of your extensive modification. 
Are you bereaved simply because your mod disqualifies your TMF?
Did you grind the mortise off your TMF straight away too, or did they originally come with a flat side?
I understand (now) that modification of the TMF (what the heck does that stand for?) is off limits for official score keeping. Of course I would never have thought of that. My only thought was , "This is really a lot more difficult than necessary".
So theoretically (since we are able to discuss this for the holiday weekend), a guy should be able to grind the mortise off, without reducing the qualifiable length of media necessary, and install a more usable locking screw/stud/nut (whatever... something for fat fingers).... maybe?
If the length of the media shall be constant as the distance across the top of TMF, it seems like your mod really doesn't shorten that distance very much, Mr. Grepper. IOW, the 1/4" length of the media from the groove to the screw on the side shouldn't count, theoretically, of course.
And one more thing, what is the difference between the PT50A vs B?
