Thanks George, I'm not sure what happened I just copied the link and pasted it. Computers don't like me and the feeling is mutual.

Sorry I screwed it up though...
Looks like I should'a read the darn page before posting the detour. I did see the screw face plate but somehow got stuck on the other one.
No harm done - Now we have two parts (98757 and 98004) to look at.
It'll help us spend more of our tool dollars to help the economy. :rolleyes:

Maybe this will work.

That makes more sense. The screw itself is likely RH, so it shouldn't be used in reverse, I think; OK for the faceplate alone. I'm just a little surprised that HF has such a specialized accessory. Combining RH and LH threads (in effect, deliberately cross-threading) seems like quite an adventure. I have some RH and LH taps in a same series (not 1x8), so I'm tempted to give it a try. Maybe a real machinist will chime in before I commit a sin.

I have used the old Delta faceplates that were cross threaded. They look might strange seeing an X pattern thread inside but they work fine.
