One more thing to consider. This is sort of the "inbetweener" method between the
plans and what Bill R. did on his most recent Piet.
He mentioned he had a dickens of a time getting the holes to line up, apparently
the distance between the holes just making that a tougher chore than when they're
very close together.
It's possible it was just because you have to line up 4 holes rather than three
and you have to get the increased length hinge pin parallel to the base to prevent
binding.
His holes were probably two inches, he used strap with the ends bent up, a very
similar idea requiring no welding and having increased bearing area as well.

Mike,
Well after reading your reply, I went back, took another look at the bent up heat
muff, and it is, indeed an SS part from Wicks... For the reasons I mentioned.
For a cowled application Al would probably be OK, but for a loosely cowled
engine, an Al muff might lose too much heat to provide sufficient carb heat.
Your mileage may vary....
Just my $ .02
