The other one I saw was Ken Thwaits' Z/28 but they did it to give more space underneath to fit a Pratt & Miller diffuser.
+1 on the quality work either way!  |
Ok so it’s been a while since I’ve been in the build threads... I apologize for missing this...
We removed mine initially to create space underneath... I don’t carry a spare... and my battery was moved up and forward... We plated the opening and way way back we mounted the nitrous bottles on it... Underneath it was a frame for a fuel sump that mounted between the frame rails... Now the plate is just a flat area where I stuff the chute after a run before repacking it...
Nitrous bottles are long gone...
