We have always advised a 5mm plate to be cut and used on the underside of the rack support to strengthen the plate and stop it bending up. This has rectified this problem, however, your design does give added strength to support the rack supports.

Similar to the 3mm plate for the clutch pedal, i would always recommend that people use 5mm plate for these as 3mm is too flimsy for the clutch effort needed.

If you'll be supplying these Andy, I'll take one!
