Doug's headers not fitting - frustration

With the motor up like 3/8" do the headers clear then? i'm just curious...
No. That's about how high it's raised in those photos based on my experiment with shims last night.

I found the photos I thought were lost - I was looking at the wrong end of the folder list.

I hope these show how wrong it is, leading to my pessimism about this being a "scoot it over an eighth" or "knock a dent in it and move on" situation either.

The coupler is right against the tube there.
