Can yall shut the gap down between the plates of the Lamcos?. Like trim up the spacers and still have spinner clearance? There was a time folks were going to building 1"x1" mesh varmint cages for 55 gallon drums because the 1"x2" commercial cages were allowing a coon to get his shoulder and increasing his reach . Luckily we haven't had yall's issue on my 3 plate style feeders at our place in 4-5 years....but we have been hammering them with dogproof traps since 2015 killing and keeping those that learn anything stupid from teaching the others. Plus I enjoy collecting past food rent from the masked bastages..

Hoping somebody can answer what the older plates measure at and if they were round or octagon?

In 2015 I built 2 1200lb feeders with 32" octagons on the bottom to help with the coon problem I was having. At the time I had never seen another feeder with this set up. Opening between plates is just enough so a kernel of corn will not get hung up between bottom plate and spinner. The top of spinner clears top plate by 1/8-3/16". Don't recall exact opening measurements between plates. These 2 feeders have run year-round since 2015 with not a single issue. Very seldom get pictures of coons anymore. Use to get pictures all night.
