Ah what's a little iron dust among friends? Tracking the 
graphite into the house, however, is another story. I've never 
moved one of these on the original board, so I can't say just 
where the cantilever foot sits in relation to the plate. You 
can make a little more room by applying your favorite grinding 
device and tightening the radius in that corner of the plate 
where the low bass wants to be. No more than necessary, and no 
angled corner.

Or make the new bass bridge about 5mm taller overall than it 
was and put in vertical hitches with the usual loops.
