If I decide to go wtih 720 mod and contoured heel I figure I can't use regular screws, and maybe not even the shorter screws?!
The hell must be very thin, I suppose

Hi Cederick,
You are correct - with the 720 mod, the standard contour heel screws are too long!
I solved it by buying a couple of shorter length stainless steel screws from a machine shop, rather than trying to cut / grind down the Warmoth ones.
The No.8 screww lengths I bought are 1-1/4" and 1-1/2"
I'm pretty sure I used 3 shorter ones and a long one to do a best fit scenario, and everything seems solid enough - with no fingerboard breakthrough!
Hope this helps.
