Yeah, that's the problem and solution. You could try it with out
disassembly but its not clear how well they will stay in. I'd be
worried about them catching on the paper as you feed it through. I
drilled little holes in the spacers and fitted them over the dimples
in the outfeed plates - they have stayed in place. I cut them so as
to not actually sit in the outfeed path. If you look at the plates,
you'll see an obvious place for the spacers and can cut the PCB
material to the exact size and drill a hole for the dimple. I'm
kicking myself for not taking pictures so as to save 1K words.
Try your idea, if it works you're ahead. If it doesn't, a jam
requires disassembly anyway and then you could do it the same as I did.
