Contessa Head Replacement -- Hole in Cabin Liner1092 viewsThis image shows the hole that remained when I was finished playing with the chainsaw.

Not only did I want to use more of this area but I was also thinking that it might be a good place to fit the compressor for a refigeration unit.Oct 08, 2007
