I wish that was the case. No access from the firewall on the '46, that is something that changed on the AD First Series.

I was actually thinking about cutting a hole in the firewall, I have the voltage regulator there which is not going to be used.

I'll go look in there again, I have the 42/48 shop manual. I didn't see it...🤔

Actually it's metal, just dirty. If I ever get this beast running again I'll probably redo the bed and build a cover for the gas tank to have some storage, thinking about a wooden toolbox type cover.
