    Reshaping the tank does work (I had it done to my last GQ) but the S.E. bent upper arm has to be the easiest solution.

    Agreed mate - too much stuffing around with the petrol tank!

    The finished length of the bent arm needs to be the same length as a standard straight arm, bending a standard upper arm wont work, it will end up too short. Scott just needs to pull his finger out and order the part. If he orders it through Suspension Stuff it will save him a few hours driving.
