Hi! Steve.
Have you tried the week end phone no. for Europa aid ? 01751433475.
Is your kit XS or MKI ? Mine is MKI but I have a "finger's space all round
my aileron brackets. It looks as if the tank needs to be no closer because
it will foul the aileron actuating rods.
Otherwise I'm having difficulty understanding your description.
Isn't the tank up to the 'Buffer brackets' ?since this should position it
for and aft direction wise.
I think if it is so close the bracket it has potential to fret on the
bracket.
These things are sent to try our patience !!

Subject: Fuel Tank vs. Aileron Bracket
All,
I've tried calling the Europa offices, but it seems everyone's out for
Good Friday, so I turn to you for some interim advice.
We did the first fuel tank bracket layup last night and I was so excited
by our technique (details on the web site soon) that I managed to
overlook the tank's becoming mis-aligned. Now my right quick-connect
aileron bracket comes in contact with the tank about an inch aft of
where the bracket flange becomes horizontal (upper inboard side of
bracket). This prevents the bracket from lining up with the upper
inboard bolt hole by 2 or 3 mm. Oops!
Has anyone had a similar "opportunity to excel"? If so, did you get any
advice from the factory? If no, what did you do?
I fully realize I may have to rip the *$%@# thing out due to my own
hubris, but any tips that would save me this joy are most appreciated.
Happy Easter,
Steve G.
