I'm New Here
Happy Easter everyone. Like many my first post here is a call for help. I just finished the HS-702 relief holes and was pleased with how they turned out, BUT I forgot to flatten the flanges you cut back leaving a slight rise in the surface of the HS-702 tab next to the relief holes. I cut the flange down so far I am no longer left with anything to bite onto to bend them flat. I used my die grinder to grind one down flat and the HS-00001 Does indeed lay flat now, but I fear I have thinned the metal flatter than probably desired. Possible maybe to just trim the tabs back past the flange? Should I order new 702s and try again?
thanks!
You can see the rise of the leftover flange on the right of the relief notch.

Doubler wont lie flat
So I ground down the protruding flange.
Doubler now lies flat, but did I make the 702 too thin in the process?
thanks!
