Thanks Jez, being retired with nothing better to do helps.
Today I rubbed down the filler on the modifications to the underside of the tank and re-modified the aluminium instrument frame. As I suspected the “ears” interfered with the positioning of the fly-screen so they had to go. Two new holes were drilled and tapped 6mm but the lug that the fly screen will have to pick up on is now very small.
Finally I gave the fly-screen a coat of primer to highlight any pin holes in the surface and was pleasantly surprised to find none. Pictures to follow.
