Hi! Raimo.
I'm not much help but just to prove I'm here.  My a/c was built as a
convertible and I know that the underbelly slot for the Mono-wheel was
rounded or radiused . I can't talk dimensions but my Andair fuel filter bowl
is fastened to the centre removable bulkhead on a piece of wood spacer which
pushes it forward by one inch approx. for the drain hole to be accessable
---From the inspection door I've put in the belly plate. This would have
allowed the mono wheel to clear the removable bulkhead before the gascolator
was fitted. In other words the bulkhead is positioned about 1" behind the
radiused opening or slot for the mono wheel to stow away.

Sorry this is a bit garbled but I felt I should try to help a friend.! Apart
---From that I'm sure you have better things to do at this time of night!

Best regards and memories to Marke and girls.

Dear Builders!

My centre console bulkhead (mudguard) is 18 cm
forward from the seat back face (Mono Manual
page 11-5). It means 83 cm backward from the front
of the firewall. I know - it should be 20 /81 cm,
like they call in the Europa Newsletter #31.

Should the wheel well opening really be 79 cm from
the front of the firewall (Manual page 21-1)?

Should the end of the opening be square or round
like the shape of the recess in the bottom of the
fuselage (radius 15 cm)?

The rearmost end of the recess is only 75 cm from the
front of the firewall. If I cut more, there will appear
foam-between-glasses-structure area.

It is about midnight but hope somebody is still awake.

Many thanks - I will wait for comments.
