Thanks Doug and Cobra1...The springs worked great. Now I am wrestling with the exhaust stacks...I am having the problem of the gap between the fuse and the last exhaust stack..Do either of you have any tricks here....my gap is about an 1/8" gap.. am I going to have to just suck this up.?..or do you have any suggestions..I looked at Tony Hawks scale exhaust but it seems that with it overlapping the cowl it causes the gap any way...
