Left handed precision/ray/sabre control plate?!

[Mabrothrax]

right, I'm working on a frankenbass (MM+P) and so far it's going well and is pushing me to take it further.

I want a metal control plate. Specifically, three (or four) holes with three smaller holes for switches. It needs to be [b]Left Handed[/b], which is where the issue lies.

The holy grail would be a Sabre control plate (or copy of):



I've seen these p-bass plates on ebay, have asked the sellers how they look flipped over, both giving negative responses...



Then there's the classic stingray plate:



As far as I know the're asymmetrical and might not look right rotated 180 degrees.

So, where if anywhere can I get a left handed sabre/p-bass/stignray control plate? Alternatively, where can I get one (or more) made?

Thanks.

This thread from a few weeks ago is for something similar and may be worth following up:

Actually, you're right - been in touch with Tom, we both seem to be keen on Sabres and wannabe custom Sabres

If the control plate is not bevelled and is flat edged it might be possible to reverse it and have the screw holes on other side counter-sunk.
Im also a lefty and was talking to a guitar tech who said he could make one in plastic, any colour for around 20 quid.
Making it in metal would be a much bigger job given the tools required.

If you're still after a control plate there are a couple on ebay. They are not listed as left-handed but if you look at them it seems a simple case of unscewing the 3 bolts holding the pots and jack connection and simply moving them around to suit as whole thing is symmetrical. Choice of chrome, gold or black.
