Hi, every other question I've had, you all have helped immensely! I was building a kora, however the neck warped badly so I'm trying again. Trying to build this zither version of a kora now...

I have the frame hollowed out, I've looked everywhere for 1/8" plywood, today I'm going to drive to the nearest larger city to a craft wood shop for it. The guitar tuners are on their way...
There are three things I can't quite figure out with this thing, and I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts? The rails that the tuners are attached to, I can't figure out how wide they should be, nor how much overlap they should have with the frame. And finally whether the plywood lining th inside of the gear channel is continuous with the soundboard? Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!
Here it is being played:
