If I’m not mistaken, only shortening the “legs” on the manifold where it bolts to the cook box to maintain proper positioning of the valve into the center of the holes in the control panel.
The manifold and the control panel holes line up ok but the burner tubes are not lining up very well with the 3 valves, I will need to heet and bend the burner tubes into place.
Much more work but I have a cutting tourch so that helps big time.
