The very bottom section also needed to be modified to allow the cut centre framework to drop in lower

The grey backing parts for the centre framework were also cut down

The hollow bottom of the grey backing part (which would have been covered by the conical bottom part) has been filled with Apoxie Sculpt and sanded flat
