The reference to the incorrectly mounted cowl tube is in the 'Daytona Coupes' book by Brock, Stauffer & Friedman, it 'the tube' was welded onto the frame @ the wrong height & as by pure coincidence was the first chassis to be worked on in Italy they had nothing to refer to when the w/shield did not match up with profiles that they had to work with, sooo they 'made' it fit by a bit of reshapeing, once the next car was commenced it all became very clear as it matched the profile, with the benefit of hindsight they probably did OK as remember just to up the ante the stretched chassis was also there & it would have required a lot of 'free spirit' work as no revised templates were probably to hand..
