[Roadsters] Removing Starter

[E Scanlon]

If it is accessing the starter that is giving you fits, then you may want to 
remove the splash shield on the body frame / firewall that covers it.  That 
is a post-production mod that they would effect in order to gain easier 
access to the starter without removing the carbs, manifold.... etc.

Simply drill out the spot welds (just the spot-weld on the splash shield, 
not THROUGH the firewall) and when finished replace with bolts.
