Well, I hadn't thought about it a lot. A few times inpassing as I was doing other things. I think I can wedgethe edges foreward enough to stuff some glue and aninch or so of fabric in there. There's 1/8" of fibrefraxthat can be pushed aside and the only places close tothe edges that are bolted down are the four enginemount bolts. If worse comes to worse one couldwrap a thin strip of aluminum around it and screwit down. Also I expect an inch of cowling will beover it as well. I'll work it out. With a pencil. Like my constipatedaccountant.Now you know why pencils have brown erasers. :-)Clif"I am always doing things I can't do, that's how I get to do them.
