Not withstanding Ken J, I'm going to go ahead and add the few rivets I need to the frame rails.

Next time, I would make the belly patches a little wider or plan around not having to do it.

Ugh... next time... I must be crazy :-)

If the piece that you are talking about is a simple curve you will not have to do anything fancy to form it to fit. The aluminum is flexible enough to form around the curve by hand.
