I like the look of that, very similar to the real thing.

Thanks, Al.

I've been trying other materials because, while the gasket paper guide came out well, it will hold moisture. I don't want rust. I've also tried: shim stock, which was too brittle and stiff; plastic from a bottle, which was too thick, and; the best so far, a plastic file folder. It was thin, easy to cut and I was able to use the folded edge for the tabs.

A lovely piece of development engineering!

Thanks, Al and G.

G., not so much development engineering as desperational development.
