Pete,
No apologies necessary!
In order to do that, you'd have to connect the two without any sort of a knot.
I doubt there is any way to get a knot between the LG frame and the firewall.
I could just barely get the plain bungee through.
I can see how one could take the tire off the LG and take apart the LG damper
mechanism
and, working inside the tunnel, replace the bungee from behind. But
is that really easier than just pulling the engine and firewall to accomplish
the same task? Is there anyone who has attempted both (or either) and can
comment?
Check six,
Bob Borger
