I have a 2 to 1 elliptical reinforcemnt pad and I want to use it on a F & D head. The question is I can reduce the thickness somewhat and make the head work. Is this detrimental if the calculations are OK? I will reduce the thickness from 1.5" to 1.25" on the edge and the fillet weld is only 1/2". I should be OK right?
