A little update.

Unfortunately, the 1/4" alimunum plate was not thick enough.

I would have to go with a 3/8" plate. To simplify my life, I will
spend a few extra $$ and will buy a brass plate 4x12x3/8". It is $40
more, but I think that it will actually save me money, due to less
chances of things going badly.

Why not cut it out of steel?????

One could not be a successful Leftwinger without realizing that,
in contrast to the popular conception supported by newspapers
and mothers of Leftwingers, a goodly number of Leftwingers are
not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid.
