Default Ignition harness routing

Hi there!

Thinking about running the ignition harness from the lower cylinders. I want to put adel clamps on the lowest screw from the valve covers and run the ignition, CHT and EGT wires through. I know it has been done before, just want to confirm that i have to grind of a little bit off the edge of the valve cover to make the adel clamp fit flush.
Pictures will be appreciatet, big time!

Thanks in advance

Daida

Don't grind the lip off the valve cover. Instead, place a washer between the clamp and the cover.
