Can you use the nail risers with that fastenal screw/nail?

Terry, in the other thread that Dennis linked, you posted a photo from Coos' site that shows his reproduction nail risers. They are a little collar or standoff that usually surrounds buttons.
Terry, they would be mounted directly under the nails for, say, the nails surrounding your 'R' button. I know they help me find my way to the buttons if I'm not looking at the footrail (staring in disbelief and joy at the 5 in a row I just made).
Terry, they are very small. They flare out from the head of the nail. The twist nail is pounded through them, through the footrail plate, into the wood of the lockbar. I can take that picture next time I'm near my bingo parts if you like. Coos' picture is accurate for the twist nails. To my eye, the nails you are using are slightly larger. Was that an NOS footrail plate or did you have it made?
If NOS, did the holes have to be enlarged to use the fastenal nails?
