Finished cutting and filing the alu plates.
This is something I would like to stress - sharp metal corners and high speeds do not mix well.
If you have an accident sharp corners and edges could well cut through flesh and could cause serious injury to yourself and others.
Use something to mark out the corner radius you want (I used electrical tape) onto the back of the plating, cut off most of it with a hacksaw and file all edges to a nice smooth curve.
I have warned everyone, so will not act like health and safety inspector anymore! ;P
