What did you drill/tap the thread out to? You can find flat head bolts that have a polished/smooth head. On deaccel i would guarantee the belt could see additional slack; add that to harmonic vibrations and it could possibly develop a wear pattern.
Just tossing an idea, the build looks killer so far and the wrenching with the little one is what it is all about

Small update!..in the process of buying my first house,and with another little one on the way..it put a small delay on my build..I did a small wire tuck on the headlight harness..put the motor in,and the front in back on to make it easier to move to the new house...without loading up a bunch of spare parts..also with the 1" carb spacer it wouldn't clear my 2 1/"2 cowl with an air cleaner..couple pics!
