Hello John,

  31 inches is the max depth you need, so if you want to curve it to match
the tyre, the curves will be less than that. However, unless you make the
fuel pump bulkhead curved too, there will be a muck trap on each side. Making
the cutout straight eases problems with bulkheads- its a personal choice.
When you make the cutout, also stick a couple of tapes down the sides to join
the fuzz floor to the inside of the cockpit module tunnel.

  As an aside, i just bolted on the engine mount to my 912. Could'nt tighten
my allen key onto either of the top socket headed screws properly until
removing the carbs, but it was easier to take off the inlet castings, leaving
the carbs attached to them. For the top port, i also had to remove the top
water inlet (outlet?) to start my allen key in the socket head. A doddle once
youve done that, though.

chus, dave
