Not the best workshop session tonight because I'm not completely satisfied with my work. Half way through, it became obvious that the reproduced new panel will not enter the frame with the engine already mounted. Two possibilities:
#1 engine out - panel in - engine in
#2 cutting the panel into two pieces
As it will almost not be visible, I opted for solution #2. It would have been nice to have that panel in one piece, but the amount of work would have been immense. Heat shield will cover the cut.
Split panel in place with Sicaflex for sealing and fixing, 4x12mm rivets with large heads. Imagine some heat shield on it and the swirl pot fuel tank mounted. A.s.a.p. I will add a pic with the panel in focus.
Cheers.
