Nice set of photos!! What camera and lens are you using?
On photo #2, it looks as though you could cut a bit of the plastic (half?) away on the side nearest the boss. That would buy you a little bit of stud. Then you could countersink that same side allowing the boss to sit further into the hole giving even a bit more stud. Or, just use a larger countersunk hole to start. Of course, this modification could mean the bottle cage plastic may damage the boss and paint unless you matched the countersink angle to the boss angle.
Thanks, the camera is a Canon S45 in macro setting. The original files look much better as they are not heavily compressed as are the photos you are viewing here.
Altering the cage to work is an option, but I never intended to use the Campy cage on the Calfee. I just posted the images here as people are questioning why certain water bottle cages won't work with certain Calfee frames. I'd just rather get a cage that works with the frame right off the bat.
