Hi, I'm 'm in the process of replacing the bulkhead in my 222. My question is should there be a gap between the top of the "L" on the chainplates and the underside of the cabin top, or should the chainplate be pressed to the cabin top with the bulkhead also pressing against the bottom of the cabin top?
