No Ron, but i always Question things, (when no one overhears)
its simple:
if its needs to be fixed solid , one can never do such by screwing in the round nut in a hole.....
this must always have play, and remmeber 0,02 mm play at a distance of 35 mm gives about 0,3mm at the 500 mm distance to the front axle, not much but any improvement helps.
I guess PEI left the works before changing B to C lug, otherwise it would not have happened i guess....

But those two round nuts (ET154), are dowels !

 

[Vincent Brake]

so what does a dowel do?

A dowel is usually a pin or rod that is a close fit in a hole so that components are located precisely.

Aha,

But those two round nuts (ET154), are dowels !

in this case i found the dowels were a loose fit, so i just made some up with a tight interference fit.

If you make it so the UFM can be adjusted in length, how do you allow for the tank fixings, surely although rubber mounted at the front and rear it must also give the UFM some support and rigidity.

That must be why the rear tank mountings are slotted.
