Paul,
what is the distance from the waterpump pulley to the firewall surface in
your installation on the KIS.  By my calculations, taking the dimensions off
of Tracy's newsletter drawing, it looks like ~1/4 to 1/2 " is all that I will
get and still have the short cowl.

I think you are way off Bill. It is more like four or five inches.
This drawing is pretty close to scale. I can give you exact dimensions
in a day or two. Stuck in LA for a few days.

I did not cut the back of my cowl yet so that may be the difference.
I don't plan on taking much if any of that off.

BTW that is a Barry rubber bushing for the shock strut and not the
car shock absorber rubber bushing supplied by Rich and Vance in the kit.
I have more pictures of that if you are interested.
