Thanks Chris, all good points.
Yes, they are castings, not forged pieces, but my well-trained amateur structural engineering eye thinks 1/16" is doable without impacting functional strength needs. What's the worst that could happen????
IF it lowers things too much, a simple shim plate under the chassis pillar would easily correct that problem.
Have also deemed the Spectre intake plenum suitable to allow about .125 to be milled off its carb flange.
I want to shave all possible height before installation. Would hate to get things all buttoned up only to find another 1/4" was needed for the flat screen to properly mount.
