i think it went very well considering the circumstances
the material from this plastic folder (which i had bought for making a DIY ass saver) was just the right thickness for shimming the lever blade

i put a piece of kapton tape on the other lever as well
an added benefit is that it silences the lever action and protects the carbon lever blade from damage
