That's exactly the method I've been using lately.
Glad people are finding them helpful.

Thanks for a great idea!

So use 1 of the short ones at the front and 2 of the longer ones at the back.
Once again, apologies to anyone who has already printed 3 of the original, shorter ones.

Apologies, I'm working on this just now and will upload a 2nd STL for the rear adjusters shortly.

Thanks Scobo - I had just finished measuring up the dimensions and was going to machine several pcs but why spend the time there when your simple solution works just as well.  Thanks again for sharing.  Now if we could just get the resolution we've dreamed of for those threads on the 3 mm thread!  Even so, it's the simplest solutions sometimes that we tend to overlook!

Thanks Lmay, hope you find them helpful.

They're much easier to turn and provide a visual aid to help judge the amount of adjustment.
