Last bit of case prep for the machine shop: removing the oil dipstick tube. I measured the exposed tube length at least 3 times (and wrote it down somewhere).

I know some people have tapped it out from the inside, but I decided to try pulling it.

This was the best in my shop fit for an internal screw, a 5/16" structural fastener.

Screw in place, with just a bit of resistance while twisting.

It took about 3 moderate whacks with the puller, and the tube came out. BTW, I did squirt some Kroil at the tube base about 48 hours ago.

The tube could be used again, but looks a bit lumpy. I will see about making a replacement.

The case is essentially fully stripped of hardware, and ready for machine work.

Speaking of machine work, I have both heads with all exhaust studs now pointing in the right direction.

This is where the shop welded in new aluminum and drilled and tapped a new stud hole. I still need to clean up the exhaust gasket surface a bit.

I used a bit of heat to try to make a more defined bend just below the overflow fitting.

I have not checked the latest list in a while. Looks like slow progress.

Back to soft stuff. This is PVC edge trim (from J&J Auto Fabrics).

I spread the opening to make it possible to insert the soft perlon panel cut edge.

Step 1: run the 3M tape along the lower edge of the glass.

Step 2: Get the PVC edging on the perlon cut edge, and try to make it even (not shown).

Step 3: Pull the covering off the tape and stick the edging in place.

With the edge in place, I could install the side targa pads.
