Well, there was no way to move the firewall cover. So I took a hacksaw <br>to the bottom edge of the hatch and trimmed about a quarter inch off. <br>This -helps- get the hatch in, but it's still not an easy go of it. For <br>whatever reason, I can't get the hatch to sit all the way down that <br>quarter inch. I've got an interference somewhere but I stopped working <br>to figure out what when I was able to press the hatch into place.<br><br>I'm now gluing the vinyl wrapped around the edges of the bubble. I'm <br>doing two edges tonight, one more tomorrow (ran out of clamps). Not <br>driving it again tomorrow. I'll end up doing most of my engine break-in <br>driving to Ely and do an oil change there. Then on to Las Vegas.<br><br>Got the new air cleaner parts today. The offset base for the 14" <br>element is perfect... except they didn't ship an offset air cleaner bolt <br>(like what comes in the Spectre kit)
<sigh><br><br>So I was very happy I had ordered the triangular shaped air cleaner <br>along with it. It fits GREAT! With the air cleaner mounted pointing <br>forward, there is about an inch of clearance between the back edge of <br>the air cleaner and the leading edge of the deck lid. Shelley said it <br>looks great, so I'm good to go. :)<br><br>And the fire extinguisher is now mounted on the roll bar.<br><br>Photos later this weekend maybe.<br><br>Asa Jay<br><br>-- <br>Asa Jay Laughton, MSgt, USAFR, Retired<br>& Shelley Marie<br>Spokane, WA<br>******************************<br>http://www.racingagainstautism.com<br>http://www.teampanteraracing.com<br>http://facebook.com/racingagainstautism<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>TPR mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:TPR@teampanteraracing.com"
