I saw a link to a backplate design in another thread.

I was able to pick up a cutoff of 1/8" aluminum for peanuts at the local metal shop and I'm going to try make something mostly following that design.
My question is on the size and angles of the upper webbing slots. How do you get away putting 2 inch webbing through the top 1 3/4 inch slot? I know it is on the bend but I still can't figure out how you can get away with less than a 2 inch slot.
Also, it seems that some production backplages have the shoulder straps angled a bit at the top. Is this advisable?
