Hex Star Intake Design Concept,

Since I have access to a water jet, here's a concept I developed. Use water jet to cut out alum hex star (0.125 to 0.25 inch) thick. Use on both ends of 1.0, 1.5, or 2.0 inch long star. Attach 6 thin plates (0.5 inch wide by 1.0, 1.5 or 2.0 long) with attached wedgetop, roughtop, or silicone material. Rivet star material to thin plate. Attach thin plates to hex star by super glue? Thoughts? Apologies in advance for using powerpoint as my source drawing tool.
