Definitely worth your while to use a screw to attach the coupler cover. A 2-56 NC screw fits the center hole of a Kadee draft gear box, so I would recommend a 2-56 tap and the bit for it and also a clearance bit for the screw. I replace plastic wheelstes with metal, so sometimes then coupler or bolster will need a shim. Worst case senario would be having to use an offset shank coupler to get the height right. I haven't had any luck with any of the other knuckle couplers that didn't have a metal coil knuckle spring. They just don't hold up.
