Left handed Bigsby B5 bridge plate

Looking into putting a Bigsby B5 on my Lefty tele. The tremolo is easy enough to find, but I'm having trouble finding a left-handed bridge plate. I've seen how some grind out an ashtray bridge to accomodate the strings, but I'd prefer a traditional Bigsby tele bridge plate. I've thought about just flipping a right handed plate, but it looks like the holes in the plate for the wood screws are counter-sunk, and that wouldn't be the case on the flip side.

Any suggestions? All help is mucho appreciated . . .
