OK, top is ready for bracing on a classical (hauser shape) ....but I'm incorporating a fan fret design which will angle the bridge.....Since the top is still a flat design, should I do anything different in the fan bracing other than place the bridge plate in the angle position? Center location of the angled bridge is still 650...as are my plans for straight 650 location.

Sure was! Would've been even better if he'd ordered one though.
