    Hi @xcskier,

     

    There is actually a gap between the router's back and the plate which is enough for a flat screw head to slide in.

Hi xcskier,

 

Can you please provide a picture of the said tabs and the bottom part of your unit? The one that I checked in the lab did not have tabs.

Dexter: sure, glad to.  Please understand that my insistence on details is because I have learned the hard way to not just accept what someone posts to my questions without knowing either who the responder is, or what the basis is for their response.  As you can see, the "holes" look like mounting screw ports, except that they are closed off by the plates which are flush with the inside face of the bottom.  So the only way to use them as mounting ports is to break out those flush plates, which makes me wonder if they really are (now) intended to be used as mounting ports.
