Title: Tinware gaps. Show me yours
Post by: vwhelmot on August 12, 2015, 13:40:30 pm
With my cal look project on the go its tinware fitting time. I've already had a trim here and there but just want to see what everyone else's looks like. I seem to have a large gap at the back but it could be normal.

If the seal cover all the gap, I think it's good. The engine move during driving (racing  :D) and need a bit of space around the body to don't hit it  ;)

Nope, standard. It's sorted now.
