63Ragtop Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Thanks guys, I'll unhook the top bolt and compress it right down, pretty sure it won't hit. Just thought there might be a minimum distance thing like fuel lines etc. I've already given it a little bend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
