You could move the firewall forward slightly (say 1.5inch max). Personally I would leave it were it is. My experience is that it is hard enough to reach what you want with the standard position so I would not make it any smaller.

As you say, it will give acceptable access to the Mod 71 springs, etc. Many thanks. -------- Regards Kelv Weston Kit 497 kelv@kdweston.biz Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=389876#389876 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 04:35:32 AM PST US Subject: Re: Europa-List: Re: Battery Charging From: David Joyce Alan Take care with the little door method as this will probably need to go through theLAA as a mod!
