Yes I would not say they were a tight fit. Decided to suck it and see
and potentially sacrifice half a tapped hole. So 3 turns only engaged in
one tapped hole and a spring balance, I took up to 2Kg with no problem.
So I'm now confident that 8x five thread screws and a compressible
washer/pad of silicone rubber under each screw head , will take the 5Kg
via an added hole-matching load-sharing plate

That seems incredible to me from the initial description...
