My experience, and I've changed the steam boiler heating element twice
on my GS-2, is that it all fits, but closely. The Ferrari factory was
beating out car bodies with rubber mallets over old stumps well into
the sixties. La Marzoccos seem to be built in the same artisinal
fashion, but they still manage to keep the tolerances pretty close.
