<p>Not a thing, except mine was .040 (Edition 1) and I was doing the Editon 2 and 3 updates (increase to .063). Probably over kill and questionable if me taking factory rivets out and re-riveting made it stronger. I figured there was a reason they upgraded this area for the GW increase. The extra angle on top was added because I felt like it didn't add that much weight and I didn't feel I could bend the .063 over without making a mess and wasting a lot of aluminium trying to get it right.
