Backing plate question

[Strokin04]

To me it looks like the threads are stripped like it has been cross threaded at one point or time. Did it look like that when you recieved it, because the threads on the backing plate should look like the ones on the white pad? Also could you maybe supply a picture of the PC female threads?

My camera just ran out of battery so i'm still charging it. I'll post up pictures when it's been recharged. If you're thinking I striped it, I didn't. If you look at the thread that came with the pc, you'll notice that the screw is way bigger than the backing plate's screw. I wasn't even able to screw it onto the pc.

The picture of your backing plate the threads looked damaged so if you didn't strip them, then it was sent to you with stripped out threads. If you order it from AG give them a call and let them know so that they can get you squared away. Mike...

Do these backing plates strip rather easily? I've used mine twice now, and it's already stripped?!?! I tightened it with the wrench that was included with the PC, did I do something else wrong? Anyone know where to get higher quality backing plates so that this wont happen again???
