Final fettling of my fuel tank cover. Damn it!
After painting my hold down straps I roughed-in the hinges for the sides of the covers, socked them in with a couple screws, then taped down the cotton straps and had Karen come out and help me reinstall the hood to make sure everything clears.
According to that shaving cream, nothing clears. We got five dots, and the hood doesn't latch.
The main culprit seems to be that brass thingie in the center. It's a replica tank vent, designed to be functional. And I re-soldered it lower and then ground it down pretty good after the last test fitting with Cory.
It's still about 3/16th too proud.
We'll get there tho.
