Maybe our nominclature is different?

I think we need pictures...

Yes, that is correct - The old plates are considerably larger (.040" larger), and drop right in place.

Now knowing the NU-REX plate is the correct size, I need to pull it back apart, and see if I just didn't fiddle with it enough, or if there is some reason why the old plates are larger.

I appreciate everyone's help!!
