Long story short, disregard my earlier post. Way to expensive/ impractical to manufacture.
You could weld (or maybe rivet?) a c-channel to a flat plate, but in that case you could just attach the c-channel directly to the existing faceplate of the SS, which might work for something. So it's not a wholly bad idea, you just don't have the best implementation.
