Right Allan ! - the manual glibly says this might be made removable.
While I haven't put tried pump and filter on it yet, it seems that as
these are festooned with feedpipes plus electrical wiring this is not an
easy option either. The tunnel which looked empty when it had only the
wheel in it, is filling up pretty quickly with all sorts of gadgets
competing for space. e.g. further forward is the throttle gate, no doubt
soon to be enlarged with a vp prop. quadrant. Also, judging from Graham
1's experience, it looks as if the disc brake caliper will need to be
rotated towards the top 120 or 240 deg. to avoid puncturing the tyre,
with more potential conflict with the rudder cables. This will spoil my
solution to the right rudder cable being hooked by the caliper - which
was to raise the pulley an inch, so the caliper never reached the cable.
An enclosed cable is looking inevitable is it not ?
