Re-work nose rack



Now that the motor is in, the nose rack can't be maneuvered into place. Plus it's a little too wide and since the frame is angled in the corners, that pushes it too close to the motor. Damn. So, I cut it in half and, after some refitting, welded it back together. I had to trim the top of the front corners so that it would slide into place, but it fits with about a 1/4 inch between the motor and the rack. I lost some of the space down the middle, so I'll need to move the radiator (for the controller) that I planned to put there. Should be enough room below the rack for the radiator on it's side. We'll see when it comes in.
