It sounds like you passed a test. You could do some A-B-A testing.

Painted the bottom of the skid plate white and added in a rear brace to keep the rear flat. I think I might seam an edge on the front to keep it flat as well vs my current method of curling the corners up to keep it from tin canning. I will replace the self tapping srews with some bolts and nuts to reduce the potential of snagging something with the exposed shafts.

Make two wire U-shapes of length

l, slide one in from each end, and treat the
w edge as above (taped, or folded and taped).
And I'd replace the 'srews' with pan-head pop rivets with backing washers.
