Default bailey header tank

I was wondering if anyone else has had probelms trying to fit one of these. Just tried to fit one to my series 2 and the bottom bracket doesn't even come close to touching the inner wing.

You have to mount it further down than the original, but nope, didn't have any problems in fitting mine.

Sorted it now

Ended up having to put a 4mm spacer between the top mount and the inner wing.
Although it would have been easier if they had actually made it so it fitted the car correctly in the first place.

Yeah you can't really tell, but for what they charge for the thing its a bit poor that it doesn't fit straight on.
