[QUOTE="oexing, post: 174556, member: 1493"] Yeah, sure I got the lugs on my tanks - but as it is the spacer tube will collide with the valve spring cap. I have 4mm compression plates under the cylinders due to Alpha pistons for lowering c.r. for my age - adds a bit to the problem . Had to deal with one leaking tank already and brazed up the top mounting plate plus tank sealer inside . All my HRD bits will most likely come from different bikes, so I am not surprised about having to deal with all sorts of "adjustments" for finishing two working bikes in the end. So either I mod the tank lugs for repositioning the spacer to clear the cap or I may want to add a lug on the UFM for actually fixing the tank at these places onto the UFM , no spacer then - certainly adding some rubber cushioning as well. So this would ease the life of the top fuel tank mount and the surroundings. Still headscratching about best path to lasting success . . . . Vic [/QUOTE]
