How to copy/add the second side?

Hi,
I created an irregular shape (blue) in a sketch and added two flanges A+B.
But now I want to add the exact same shape at the other end of the two flanges A+B.
I tried to copy/move ist, but this creates additional faces I can´t delete...

How copy and move or add the sketch to the other side. As I wnt to use theis for shette metal bending it all has to be connected...

Thanks for your help, Hendrik

In my opinion, you need to create this sheet metal component using a different process.  I made the assumption you want 200mm inside measure between sides. Model is attached.

Ok, this is a total different (and probably more advanced) approach.
As far as I understood it, you craeted the whole shape as a 2D scetch and bend it with bend lines.

Thank you for your help!

THAT didn´t cross my mind:
Just model half of the object and MIRROR the other half.
A simple, genious and beginner friendly approach if the beginner thinks about it...

THANK YOU, Hendrik
