I had to trim the outboard Capacitive Fuel Quantity Sender Plate to 
allow 3/16" clearance around the stiffeners on the bottom of the 
tank.  The inboard plate had sufficient clearance around the 
stiffeners that it did not need to be trimmed for this reason.  My 
question is should I trim the inboard plate anyway to match the 
profile of the outboard plate?  I'm not sure if having different size 
plates affects the functionality of the plates.  Thoughts?  Thanks in 
advance for your replies!

The amount you trimmed it is insignificant in the whole scheme of 
things.  The tank is irregular in shape, the nose rib has a hole in it, 
etc.  Don't sweat it, it will work fine with your trimming.
