Quoted from adamtoth:

I am doing a cabinet restore on Gilligans Island and wanted to replace the original leg bolt plates with the newer large style. The original corner wood brace is too thick though, so the newer plate flanges don’t sit flush up against the cabinet sides, and would need shims behind them. Has anyone dealt with this before? Picture shows it centered with about 1/4” gap on each side. I suppose I could use stacked washers under the screws to fill the gap, but then I’m not really getting the benefit of the plate rigidity against the sides. I may just need to stick with the originals unless I use shims.[quoted image]
