Gary,
Thank you very much for your good comments.
I will give it a try with the openings that I presently have, and will do as
you suggest - move some parts (the T for fuel return and the T for sight
tube) so that they become accessible in the wheel well, provided I manage to
get out those parts and hoses (some surgical cutting of the old hoses could
do the trick).
Without having performed any structural analysis, attached is a sketch of
how area B (ref. my previous mail) could be cut out and the strength of the
bottom retained when an aluminum cover of adequate thickness and quality is
bolted in the cut-out's place. WARNING: Not verified in any way!!
Good luck with completion of your build!
Regards,
Svein
