Thanks Ken, that's what I thought would happen. The kit was designed for have the outer side of the walls sanded to give a gentle curve to the nose.

1/8" is a lot to sand off, so I cut the sides back with a Vaughan Bear Saw BS150D, (Rona or Home Depot). Produced a nice controlled cut. One side came off at the fire wall (exhaust side) anyway so I'm gluing on a new piece. I had to open up the side to clear the manifold. Clamped the new piece in place, and reglued with 30 minute epoxy.
