Making Backplates for Pandora

Pandora needs backplates for the various boards [Ozymandias, Mercury, Penelope, for example] to keep rodents out of the enclosure.

I put a copy of my drawing of the backplates [reproduced above] at:

Here is an alternative backplate that takes 4 slots and accepts Ozymandias, Mercury, and Penelope:

I put a copy of the various measurements I used in creating the drawing at:
