    As I remembered when I started to take the fairing off yesterday.

    The job went fairly smoothly, but there may be slight seepage from
the new gasket :-(  Is this to be expected with a new gasket?  I thought 
I'd removed all of the old gasket from the metal.  I nicked the paint on 
the cover in a couple of places; how big does a nick have to be before
it's a worry?  When I put it back together I put a smear of Hylomar Blue 
gasket goo on both metal faces, did the bolts up finger tight and then
progressively tightened them all to 9Nm.
