I wasn’t happy with the way the mixture bracket turned out on top of the sump/engine flange instead of below the flange per plans and so after reviewing a few photos online of what others have done I decided to grind away some material where the ominous black plug interferes.  It came out ok and there is plenty of material left.  After adjusting I can get full travel of the mixture lever to both stops.  About 3/16″ was removed.  Cotter pins not installed yet in photos below.

Drilled the oil door in place.  Lots of work to do here to make a perfect fit.
