Totally.

I gambled and won. I have a belly pan.  ( I really should do a closer
inspection) But. The supply and return fuel lines are exposed. Albeit
small portions.

Figured a brake - swerve and dodge @ 60 mph posed a 50/50 chance of
missing it. Kinda like grabbing at a football bouncing around.   ;)
Besides.  It was windy too.

Neil.
