I would use more filter element. Stack another filter on top of the one that's there and use a longer stud.

I noticed that my poly locks only screw on my studs about 2.5 or 3 turns. The next longer rocker stud is to long. Can I install a machined washer under the stud and on top of the guide plate togive me more stud engaugement.
