You need some brackets, which aren't required for the 14mm one. Try Genesis Engineering?

Phil, the fuel rail bolts on the front of the lugs, but you will need to trim the lug thickness down by removing material from the front face of the lug until the rail is in the correct alignment.

You have a remedy

Phil, I don't use one, was going by something Genesis said on an old post. The thicker one will move the rail further away hence no clearance issue I guess.

When i used a 20mm spacer i put the rail the other side of the lugs using nuts and bolts. I'm guessing thats of no use to you though as your kind of in between
