Hi
If I remember the cs03?? goes very close to the floor in order to be
at the right angle.
I wouldn't be too hasty to open the hole up to make allowences for
cockpit module movement or inaccurate positioning because you could
end up with alot of play in the system, however putting a piece of
thin plastic between the ali and tufnel shouldn't be a problem.
Ours worked a treat even without the plastic. It all hinges on the
accurate positioning of the tube and the securing of the cockpit
module to stop it flexing too much. It was a long time ago that I did
that job!!
