[QUOTE="danno, post: 32535, member: 1372"] Thanks. Yes now I think of it, there is a small counterbore there. Once I'd cleaned up the holes I was able to screw in the bolts by hand and then use a ratchet spanner for the last bit. It didn't seem to come to a dead stop, more of a gradual tightening which I thought was ok. I didn't measure the distance as you mention but I could re-check plus I need the practice getting the tank off :D The rubbers may be compressing a little too much. It all makes a bit of a racket when turning the bolts through the rubber mounts as it resonates through the whole tank! It's all back together now and while tapping the holes was straight forward enough, it wasn't easy getting the tank on due to the cables near the tank mounts. Should be easier 2nd time. [/QUOTE]
