CARB INTERFERENCE

When I put the engine together and into the car I found that the left wing support panel came right up to the lower part of the front SU carb. I didn't want to cut into the wing or bonnet so I cut a notch to allow clearance for the carb jet. To remove the carb I made it so that the nuts could be removed and the lower stud was replaced with a bolt that could be backed out of the manifold toward the engine. This permitted the carb to be rotated on the top stud until it cleared the wing support. No room for an air cleaner but I think it will work OK.
