Paul,

Unless I have something screwed up (which I dont think I do), there should be 
about a 1 3/8 inch gap between the top of the neck and the bottom of the 
tie-bar at that point. I just measured it a few seconds ago.

Other listers may want to chime in on this since I do have an after market 
(TRF) front apron.

Do you have a stock radiator?

Also, since I have the bonnet open, would you like a photo or 2 showing the 
gap as best I can before I go back and put the 3 to sleep for winter for the 
last time?

Bob
