Not sure if you were referring to the air cooled style pivot above the fuel tank. Pics looking forward above fuel tank at linkage/heater hoses (old shift linkage): http://tinyurl.com/3775v9y close up heater hoses through hole mid frame: http://tinyurl.com/ydqfqcq looking to rear http://tinyurl.com/yebq3hf Close up looking rear head in clamshell area http://tinyurl.com/3986hrp Looking up front end of pipes, clamps off but still showing roughly what gap was and roughly where pipes where: view from driver side up in clamshell again: http://tinyurl.com/34dtuyf The heater hoses are cable strapped to the pipes until ~ midship where they go through the middle hole. The shift linkage doesn't rub, but thanks for the heads up. That much I anticipated. <grin> As you point out, I now realize that the "kick" in the pipe has effectively "pushed" the pipe on passenger side too far over above tank. Good news is that with support clamps removed from the pipes, the tank so to seat higher up. I assume I can reposition pipes slightly toward driver side. I loosened and turned the "out" rad hose at rad a little. The straight rad hose will just stay as is. I don't forsee any added stress to the rad outlet/inlet pipes. Neil.
