I am surprised that I didn't break the engine cover earlier considering that it has became so thin.

But of course it was bound to happen and so it did when I was almost finished.
Well the new bulges are in place and the damage has been fixed. Sadly the cover doesn't fit as good as before but it will probably work.
Now I need to build some Weber carburetors before I can continue but finding out the size of them are problematic.
Anyone here that have some basic measurements of the DCNL-4 Type 38?

This project went to sleep when I came to the problem with carburettors. I just got some tips and made a mock-up to test the size. I don't know ,maybe it is to high in relation to the width?
The plastic card I used is thicker than what I'm planning to use when I build the carburettors later. A good thing is that they aren't very visible with the bodywork in place.
