so turtle if you stacked the plates so they would make it a flat groove you would be putting a steel plate in first instead of a friction plate, no good, and you would have way too much freeplay so they might shatter. you either have to use the old basket or get a new one, but dont change the order of the plates

shattered plates = not happy turtle
