First off that Stainless is hart to cut, then you got the placement of the actuator in the center of the tab and then you got on 12x12 tabs on both sides a 90 degree bend for strength which you would loose. If the tabs are new email Thomas and he will exchange them for new. If they are used maybe and that’s a maybe he could exchange them for used “if he has them” used plates. For me go to Ebay and you will find some cheep there.
