The YB really needs a 14MM one or you have all of the above problems mate. Send it back and get the right one.

Try Ferriday.... 14, 15 or 16mm spacers are the sizes that will work with a standard plenum.

http://www.ferriday.co.uk/orders/man...adaptors.shtml

Not sure on what thickness they are but a quick phone call will soon get you that information.

Ive got a 10mm one on mine you just have to file 4mm off the back of the mounting stub it doesnt stop you putting it back to standard. As for the mount its the same with them all you just have to slot the holes if you go for the 14mm one it would be worse on the mount.
