Yeah, I'm going for at least 1/2" clearance all around the bell mouths. 
Preferably an inch in front of them.

Going to be a tough compromise in the RV-4 cowling. To get the box a 
close to the cowling as possible, the runners have to be tilted down 
2".?? Not a good thing if excess fuel in the runners -- will drain back 
down into the box.
