[QUOTE="danno, post: 124695, member: 1372"] Thanks. Not much room if any for bending. The offending part is the bracket and pivot bolt that’s part of the main stand (FT13 /3AS). There’s about 1/8” clearance between this and the footrest plate. By operating the stand I can see this is about right for one of the FT290 clips which is flush on the inside of the plate. The plate flexes out a little as the stand is lowered so I don’t think this gap should be any smaller. Having looked carefully at the arrangement, the brake lever can’t be moved over to the right at all due to the brake cable support. Maybe a shorter one but then the cable isn’t straight. The FT13 / 3AS stand bracket can’t be bent to the left due to the FT290 clip on the inside of the footrest plate. It’s fine. I’ll be able to sort it by shortening the pivot bolt. It’s just all a bit tight around there. [/QUOTE]
