the problem is the rod exit's on the fuse sides. if i could move them i would be fine, but i can't. i most likely will have to live with what i have. the CF rods do touch each other but because of the exit's i can't move the rods anymore . if i do it will cause the rods to bend at the exits
cover over the back-side of the hole with some G-10 sheet, then cut a piece(s) of G-10 slightly smaller to fit in the hole, then with a little body filler you will never know they are there.
