Jackplate Question

I have a cmc pl-65, manual jackplate. This one has 4 nuts on the adjusting screw, on either side of the bottom plate, and the 4 on the sides. There isn't a nut on the top of the adjusting screw. Can i put one on it? To make it easier to adjust. Tac weld? Drill, tap, set screw? Add a jam nut?
What would i do with the 4 nuts on the adjusting screw?

Is it really a PL-65? The PL-65 is the hydraulic plate. The ML-65 is the manual.

Do you have a PL-65 that was converted over to a manual? That might explain the missing nuts.

Looks like a hex nut and jam nut at the top:

It's the ML, sorry. Thank you for the picture, I'll pick up a nut and jam nut.

Moving on UP

I picked up the proper fasteners. Thank You.
