Hot Rod Todd - yes I did think about cutting into the firewall and think that would work. I just didn't want to take the structure out. You might want to consider putting in a balsa block or large triangle stock to tie the structure together around the cut. Bear in mind, I think you will still need a long cut in the cowling to allow it to spread around the engine. Another alternative would be to cut out the cowl section behind the engine and mount it separately, so the rest slides off easily.

Jpal101 - use the "Post Reply" button (rather than fast reply). At the bottom of the next window, below your message and next to "file" there's an upload button, then a browse attachment window. I don't know what the file size limits are, but I use a shareware Photo Resizer from www.showyourphotos.com that does a great job of compacting 600-700kb files down to 30-40 w/out losing much resolution. BTW - I did some internal strengthening which I can post if there's interest. Do you have a source for new/stronger LG that you like?

Thanks
