You mean "hatch" right? yea... well I'm not going to wait until the
engine is broken in to put the hatch on; it's much safer to drive if
it's in place. :)<br>
<br>
If you mean after having made the small mod, to make sure it's
"sealed" from the engine compartment... yes, taking care of that
too.<br>
<br>
If you really meant "hate," then I'm all over that. No hate left
right now... things are good.<br>

[TPR] Hatch update<br>
</font> </div>
<br>
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>
