[quote=Kevin H;10924Alternatively perhaps you could tape a small slab of plasticine to the underside of the bonnet to see if you get an imprint from the post.[/QUOTE]

Kevin, thanks for that idea. I did a variation and made two little columns of plasticene. I put one at the front edge of my new air cleaner and one on the nut on the top. The bonnet pressed them down when closed. This revealed I have 1.25" clearance at the front edge and 1.5" above the nut! So I have room to perhaps fit a larger silenced/snorkel air cleaner if I want.

David
