Note that compared to the mockup in PVC tube, I relocated #1 tube from up&over the center tube to behind the center tube. There was enough room and this got around a problem with the steering column towards the body beyond the rag joint. It also meant that I had to reroute the #7 tube to the outside. All tubes clear everything.

The center tube diameter in the prototype is 2-1/4in, but will be 2-1/8in in the production units. This is for better fit on the center outlet hole in the flange.

In the next couple of days, I'll have digipix of it fitted on the 55 (vertical) Clipper.

I should have the duplicate flanges from my alternate supplier by Thursday. The gen/alt brackets will be a couple of weeks after that since I don't need them right now to do the passenger side prototype.
