I concur. For a race, what I usually do is I'll use a 3 mm ball tip allen (excellent for this job) to screw the shock pivot ball onto the H12 setscrew real tight. The setscrew would initially protrude like about 2 mm like Glenn mentioned.
Then, I use a 1.5 allen to BACK OUT the H12 setscrew so that the shock pivot ball is fully threaded onto the setscrew.
When you need to take off the shocks, then just do a reverse of the above. This is what I do anyways. Some may or may not disagree.
This is what I do too.
Would it weaken the mounting if you leave the setscrew in? I left it that way for my first race and it seemed to hold up.
