Did the same. Well worth the cost. I can put a short length of safety wire thru the socket head capscrew before installing. Can insert it and tighten using a long T-handle allen wrench thru the new hole in the plate immediately under that problematic gascolator screw. The safety wire hole in the capscrew is deep enough to allow an allen wrench even with the safety wire inserted.
Yes, the safety wire will wrap itself around the shank of the allen as you tighten, but, every couple of turns you can unravel.
