Does anyone know if it is possible to shorten the maxtrax mounting pins to only have 1 section. when you only have 1 set of boards, there is really no reason to have 2 sections on the pins. The top section sticks up too high, looks dumb, and provides no value.

Thus, i would like to shorten the pins to only have 1 section for 1 set of boards.

Has anyone done this?

Below are the pins i am referring:

I don't see how you could shorten them without destroying them.
