Help trimming a lofted flange

I2013.

 

I need a little help from someone better at sheet metal than me. In the attached assembly I am having problems adjusting the length of #400 and #402 to get them to meet in the center with a small gap instead of an overlap. I have tried using Move Face to adjust all the faces on the large end at the same time, and I get a: Could not split between bend and plate error. I could make an adjustment when I save a DXF for waterjet, but I would prefer to have the assembly actually show everything correctly. And not just have a note on the drawing stating that an adjustment has been made in the DXF.

Reverse the offset direction of the lofts
You'll probably have to adjust your sketches accordingly

I suspect @rdyson suggestion would work. Let us know if you have any other questions.

 

Thanks,

I tried shifting the loft to the other side of the line, however, it just made the other end of the part not work. So what I ended up doing is making a cut across the end of the parts to make the assembly work. It just has to do with the angle created by the differences between sketches.
