Can these screws be removed safetly?
Are the screws needed for holding the current plate in place?
Should the brackets have a counter sunk hole where the screws would go.

Will post a picture tommorrow.

Thanks
If they're screws you're good to go but if they're bolts and there's a nut on the other side you'll have to get inside the scope. On the C11, mirror and corrector cells are bolted.
