Just fitted a new imola kit after destroying my old one to find that you can't get a spark plug in without grinding some of the cowling away , wish they would have said before I'd put it all together , very annoying

have you cut the cowl so that it clears both the inlet fanny mould and exhaust stub ?

Yes done that , spent 2 - 3 hours putting engine back in, wresting with seized trunnions , split outer cables and my total lack of patience .......then could not put a plug in ..... Sent me a bit over the edge ....will have to drop it and fettle cowl tomorrow, never mind
