Relief cut or "swallowtail" a factory splice section?

Hi Brion,

Thank you yet again for taking the time to look and answer one of my posts...

I'm in 100% agreement that this was a simple build it and stuff it deal as well... I will be cutting tapered relief by making a "point" on all 4 sides, both ends...

Thank You!
