The best picture's here. (https://b-and-n.smugmug.com/Flying/Kitfox/i-pt2sjSB/A) There's some other views in the folder, though none as good. I don't know if it's necessary. I did it to keep heat off the radiator tubes that run vertically on centerline between the exhaust and firewall. Guy Buchanan Ramona, CA Kitfox IV-1200 / 912-S / Warp 3cs / 500 hrs. flying again.
