Is there any reason for a bigger gap or is smaller always better?
Sorry Dave I've been busy and had no time to reply regards Code. I'll have a look at what you put earlier and get back to you thou other than checking OEM codes etc it looks about right.

Only reason I can see for higher switch is in case material sprung or fell between grid and angled up slightly then you'd have some clearence for traveling between pierce points.?
