I put a few plys of Kevlar, about 2-3 inches in diameter, on the forward surface of the plywood before drilling the mounting holes. The purpose is to help transfer the shear loads into the plywood. Carbon might be better. The fiberfax was not trimmed, just squeezed behind the stainless. Yes there is slight dimpling, so what? If there is a fire, the jig will be up long before that connection gets hot enough to fail, why add the extra weight?
Seems like a lot work that is never mentioned in the manual. Was hoping not to do that but I guess I have too.
