I plan on purchasing some Skid Row plates soon, but wonder if the plates are thick enough to support countersunk fasteners? This would place the fastener head just below the surface of the plate, thus avoiding it being torn off by rocks or whatever you strike. If you don't think the fastenrs aren't strong enough could you put in a few more fasteners to help share the load and stress of the plates making contact with rocks, etc????
Just my .02, since I work for Boeing....everything that is subjected to an air flow has countersunk fasteners. Don't have a picture but hope you all understand what I am saying!
