1/16 Atlas tunnel assembly question

[Terrance Nissen]

Gary or anyone else.

On the 1/16th Atlas drawings it seems that the left side of the SUMP STRIP from the centerline is wider than the right side. If you keep the centerlines of the control plate and sump strip lined up and move the tunnel strips to where they should be, the left side of the tunnel assembly will extend past the controlplate. Is this correct or should everything line up right down the middle so both sides of the assembly are flush with the control plate?

Good eye !! I put the C-L off by .04”. This was a result of trying to center-up those pieces and keep a little distance between the parts templates.

The intent is to have the C-L in the center. And the sump will be in the middle of the tunnel. The driveline is offset by ¼” (optionally), but the sump goes right down the middle. – Ignore the centerline as it is shown on those templates.

Everything will be lined up with the front edge of the control plate as shown in the illustration.

Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks Garry

Confused no longer. I thought it should be right down the middle but just wanted to make sure.
