A great way to use droop screws or how I realized how dumb I really am

So here is a quick tip on using your droop screws on the front end of your F104 based car. Normally, you are shown a button head screw with a number of washers under to set droop. This is fine and works great, but changing the setting is tedious in that you must remove some parts to access the screws easily. I had been using a button head and had drilled a hole in the top arm so I could quickly adjust up or down. This worked well, but now you are drilling the top arm. Not really the way to go an a Exotek setup..... So it came to me, that I should use a long grub screw driven in from under the arm. This would be obvious if I was a deep thinker, which I guess I am not, LOL. It's plain as day, but I have been doing it the goofy way for months.... Anyway, this is what it looks like:

    That way you would still have a nice big head for the arms to stop on and the hex in the bottom to adjust
