Yup. Don't forget the TefGel on the bolt threads to prevent the corrosion..
Also (in case I haven't said this enough times already :) don't forget to
unscrew each of the mast foot blocks and TefGel the Studs and threads. A
friend had to unstep his mast and remove his mast step because some of them
seized up from the corrosion between SS to Aluminum. Once every 4 or so
years is enough for that job.

I drilled and tapped the holes for the appropriate sized flat head
machine screw (as I recall, it was a 5/16" fine thread, 3/4"long
machine screw (NOT a sheet metal screw!!))
