Eric,  I don’t know if you got my photos but nothing on that side plate is
within 0.30 mm.  The nose of the plate is considerably short of the plane body
and when affixed there’s a gap at the back between the bottom of the plate and
the sole.  You are well on the way to a better-than-original repro.
