Machining down a back plate that you have is almost certainly a possibility eh. There’s got to be a small engineering firm in SG that could help out.
Edit to add: even if you get the back plate machined down, would it still leave problems getting the upper and lower guides spaced correctly without rub?
that there doesn't seem to be a consensus online as to whether the centre hub works or not
This is what I really want to know.

I think the new one that rotates freely in both directions unless you are pedalling would genuinely solve the issues people talk about- I did think that’s what I had ordered, but got the first one.
Now that I have it I want to see if I can make it work- but the promise of the thing is the (IIRC) Centre Hub Zero, which will enable the suspension to work/isolate the pedals whilst braking.
Although I admit that there doesn't seem to be a consensus online as to whether the centre hub works or not, but I thought that it was cool.
