Nice move on the bracket mounts - I’ve been trying to figure a way to do something similar with the GL and had this elaborate bracket idea in my head. A set of spacers would work as well.I invested the time to improve the gauge orientation this morning. The M8x16 gauge bracket bolts were upped to M8x25 with a nylon spacer to raise the gauges above the raised section in the middle of the bracket. I just had to make a trip to Home Depot to get the bolts and figure out what kind of spacers were available. There is still a slight rotation outwards, but this seems acceptable.
I was looking at the photo I posted of the tank previously and learned that the e-clip on the cap hinge had left the building. I replaced it with a 1/8" clip from Home Depot. I bought a pack of two and thought I lost one in the first five seconds. I'm terrible with those small clips.
I spent about 30 minutes doing these tasks and then decided the yard has been neglected a bit too much recently and spent a couple of hours mowing, pulling weeds, etc.
I hear you on those eclips - if I ever move shops, there’s going to be about 200 of those littered underneath rolling cabinets.
