Hi ADTech,
I just received my DB4e and am curious about your statement to remove the reflectors. In the box I see two large pieces: one with the bowties, and one with two square metal grids. The instructions refer to the grids as the reflector, and instruct me to attach the bowties to the reflector using some 5" bolts with aluminum standoffs.
Is your suggestion to simply not use the reflector piece at all, and only mount the bowties? If so, there's nothing to un-rivet, right? I'd simply not connect the bowties to the other piece?
Thanks!
