Thanks skiman. I expect there is a lot of weight on that back hinge that pivots out so mounting it at the back makes sense.
Yesterday, before I saw this thread I had actually sandwiched the plates in between the mounting points. Someone had mentioned that earlier. I found it was possible as the round hole in the awning mount can line up. I then spaced the remaining 3 bolts up 4mm to compensate. I'll grab some pics before I pull it out.
I'm not entirely happy with this fix for a few reasons but the main one is that 4mm difference makes the squeeze into the garage even worse! (it is that tight!)
Thanks again skiman... its amazing how this thread popped up just at the right time!
