Whether or not this would work depends entirely upon the flatness and 
flatness of the cuts, and how small you managed to make the air gap 
based on that flatness. What you're describing sounds like the home brew 
equivalent of a clamp-on. If it were me, I'd try for a solution using 
standard parts.

BTW -- I hope you mean #31 -- #33 is a rather different material.
