REFLECTOR: Nose Gear Door Tabs

Does anybody remember making their nose gear door tabs?
The manual says they should be made from "two layers of TRIAX, 5 plies of
BID or trimmings from any lay-up between 1/16" and 1/8" thick"

Is that three options:
A: two layers of triax
B: 5 plies of bid
C: any trimming between 1/16" and 1/8"

Or is that two options:
A: two layers of triax PLUS 5 plies of bid
B: any trimming between 1/16" and 1/8"

I did 7 layers of bid and it came out at about 3/64" thick, about 1/32"
less than their 'scrap' requirements.   I did do mine in a vacuum bag so
it's about as thin as it could be, but I don't know if I need to re-do it
with the triax or if it's good enough as is.

Anybody have any opinions?
