Default Help, can i cut this tab off the block ??

hello all

what are the 4 tabs integral to the block casting, one on each corner ? the one on the P/S side front is tapped approx 1" deep.

i want to cut the rear one off, its just above the starter, i only need to cut approx 10mm deep of material off, if it can be cut i can route the steering column through which will solve major issues, i have attached a pic with the red arrow showing the tab im refering to

many thanks for any help you can give

cheers

Finlay

Those are casting tabs. You can remove them if need be.
