1963r2 Posted October 25, 2020 Report Share Posted October 25, 2020 Something to do with the R3 installation ie ducting for the air cleaner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly!...Metal tubing was installed to duct air from the lower grill area to the supercharger as the fabric tube was collapsing....At that point the right side hood prop was in the way, so it was moved over to the left apron.
