The present application relates to multi-aperture plate fastening.Disclosed are an arced plate, a first fastener, and a second fastener. Thearcedplate can define a first arced aperture array and a second arced aperturearray.When the arced plate, the first fastener, and the second fastener are used incombination, the fasteners can retain the arced plate as a truncated cone.Eachfastener can include inserts configured to extend through, and thereby occupyminor apertures formed in the arced plate.
