FF sent this tank and brackets with my complete roadster kit. The holes to mount the bracket to the frame are about four inches apart. If I were to try to mount it per the manual to the 3/4 tubes it would sit at about a 20 degree angle. If I set it vertically the bracket holes don't line up with the 3/4 tube.
If I try to mount it directly to the F panel the tank won't let it fit flush. I called factory five and was told I would have to fabricate something to install where the manual says it should go.
This is the first time FF has disappointed me with a lack of service. Not happy.
The only place in the engine compartment this thing will fit vertically is on the X frame.
Looks like I'll be shopping for something that fits.
I made a bracket that attaches to the upper and lower 3/4 inch tubes, and to the F-panel. I used the bigger Summit tank and wanted it as secure as possible. Seems to be perfect. And your right, the angles are a problem, just had to do some fitting and bending to make it fit flush everywhere.
