The piece we were putting back in was going to be thicker and flatter.
After forming one bend to get it to conform to the firewall we tacked it in place to test fit.
At this time we were still waiting for the 3rd cylinder to arrive. Originally Spence had bought a clutch cylinder but it had a different design that just used a plastic snap on cap. The one we wanted was on back order.
Spence was adamant that we retain the factory original pinch weld seam. Importunately it left us with less of an appropriate area to mount our reservoirs.
