The cover will groove first, you will be surprised what damage high density plastics can do to soft aluminum when they touch in the right (wrong) conditions.
and I was
I'm very grateful that that was the only damage sustained after looking at the other thread. Ouch! Whats most frustrating is that things like this occur after the bike has been in the shop. Thats the driving factor for me in learning how to do my own work. Its people like you Glenn who are willing to share your years of GG knowledge that makes this place so helpful. Its really appreciated.
