Hi all.

I've got a 67 bug with 2276 engine and need to fit a new smaller EMPI breather box to the firewall. I bought the EMPI one already so have it ready.

Previous owner fitted a massive stainless one bolted to front of fanshroud which works but is really cramped.

It has the original tarboard firewall though, anyone experienced who could advise how best to mount it? Would self tapping screws be enough or do I need to drill through to metal and fit rivnuts?

Alternatively I could reuse one of the holes in the fanshroud and mount it there. Just not happy they drilled 2 in the first place, I'll have to fill them with grommets.

Thanks.

Hi all Odoo partners and freelancers,

Looking for some advice from seasoned experts please?
I've been a freelance specialist in Odoo running own business for 5 years.

I have regular clients who trust me and respect my time, however one in particular currently who's been a challenge. This has come up before with past clients, so wonder how other's tackle it?

Basically, I completed a full Odoo implementation for them with CRM, Manufacturing, Inventory, Sales, Accounting etc. Was complex as it was a fresh start after they were stuck on an obsolete version for the last 10 years.
The project generally went well but at every step they tried to cut corners and started to fight my recommendations.
Eventually it went live and despite the challenges, they've been very happy with the results and can't fault the system.
Now comes support...

I explained that I offer a retainer with a range of affordable support options, which other clients use. Or they could pre-purchase some support hours and used them ad-hoc.
They want to use neither but got angry when they sent me a support ticket with multiple requests recently, only for me to put the brakes on.
They are now asking for me to grant them Admin-Settings level access so they can do things themselves and only come to me when things go wrong (red flag).

Here's my dilema, my policy has always been that I will only grant that level of access to a client who has a member of staff that is a trained appointed IT expert that takes full responsiblity. However from my side there can be no warranty or guarantee of support if they make changes without consulting myself.
For this client, they have nobody who is qualified internally and no IT department.

What would you do? My thoughts are to use my signed "waiver" document that relinquishes resonsiblity if they are given Admin-Settings access and Odoo.SH admin.
I've seen the mess that happens when clients get carried away with Odoo Studio and installing custom modules to create a mess, which then comes back to experts like myself to try and bail them out.

Thanks in advance.

UPDATE: Looks like general consensus is to sign a waiver and let it be. Happy to do this. I pride myself on quality and want the system to remain as good as it is now. Maybe not the approach everyone takes. Have no issues providing admin access, just need to be clear of the responsibilities they accept.
