Hi Alan,
I noticed that the clutch pedal is easier to push & clutch action is
more progressive now. It must have something to do with the leverage
angles. As you say, more room for the fuel line & wiring harness also. I
really feel foolish that I put up with it wrong for such a long time.
Amazing how helpful the "List" is.
Regards,
Dave
