Glareshield and hose work

Added some fire sleeve material around several hoses near the exhaust

We created a template out of posterboard for the glareshield, with cutouts for the center windshield tubes.  The sides of our glareshield are angled which makes this piece a little more complicated than the standard one.   An aluminum glareshield was cutout using the template, and some additional trimming was done to get the basic fit.  We drilled the holes for front attachment screws, but will wait until the windshield is installed before doing any final fitting.

We had planned on installing the exhaust springs and bolts, but found that some of the springs don't have enough clearance.  We may be able to get enough clearance for an exhuast pipe on the front right side by bending one of the exhaust hooks slightly.  The front left exhaust pipe has a spring that presses against the protective installation one one of the radiator hoses.  We will need to either adjust the hose routing or the exhaust to ensure we have more clearance there..  Hours: 17
