As a comparison, the lightening cuts on an 0-Frame T/A consisting of two cuts per flat are 1.37" in length each for the cuts to the rear of the check hook rod and .89" for the forward cuts. The width of these cuts are .37" wide and .102" deep.

Okay fellas, get out your slide-rules and figure the ounces saved on the lifter and the ounces saved on the T/A....... Ready - Get set - GO!!

I can't help you unless you give me the radius at the bottom of the slots.
