Re: odd patch panels ??

Actual patch panels for shaving the areas you are looking to smooth are not available in the aftermarket, however, you can purchase light gauge sheet metal from your local home center and cut the pieces you need from cardboard patterns. This is an economical way to do what you want to do and you can chose the thickness of the material you want to use, instead of working with the very light gauge material the imported patch panels are made from. Good luck with your project and keep us posted with what you end up doing.

I would suggest what Tony did. Just get some 18ga cold rolled sheet and cut them out yourself.
