So after all the troubles with the splits in the soundboard, I managed to fix it somehow. Hopefully it is strong enough and it will hold.Over lunch time, I had a go with the dremel and a scrap piece...

Awesome @powerful!

Looking good @powerful 👍😁 🙏🎶🙂🎸

She's a beauty! I don't mind the odd lumpy bit 🙂

@powerful - I did answer this Q including dimensions here if you missed it...👀 short answer is - don't worry, doesn't matter, make it whatever you like:
