David - no, don't do that!

Yes, they need to be moved to line up properly with the horns, but
don't reduce the size of the horn-box flanges - those are structural
items. Instead, carefully remove the inner skin and brown foam as
necessary to clear the flange in its correct position WRT the horn.
Then put a BID patch over the re-worked area, extending it at least
an inch beyond all round. Refer to my building journal of 2003 05 08
& 2003 05 09 for my own experience of this. Neville may have already
repeated his advice to me by the time my reply is posted.

Rowland
