Here's my attempt at taking some better pictures of my SB...
Here you can see that I removed enough material on the 1/4" plate that the plate fits right inside the rivet row. It was a slow trial and error method until I removed enough material:

Finally, one change I made to ensure there was no rudder interference was that I only put washers on the top 4 bolts (where the 5 degree bend keeps them away from the rudder) I'm glad I did this after I re-hinged the rudder...there's not much extra room between the rudder and the plate at full deflection. I simply put 2 or 3 washers under the lock nut and it worked great:

All in all, a straight forward job, just a pain to reach the inside of the tail when you reinstall the hardware.
