Interference between tire rack and tank
Grinding off some rubber pad height
  Checking for rack clearance.jpg - This is supposed to be the final install of the fuel tank and tire rack. A small pry bar moved the bottom of the tire rack up, which got the clamp away from the fuel tank surface. it also pushed the upper tub in and messed up the door fit... again! We are going to loosen the bottom and see if it relaxes the tub. If we tighten the tank straps will that bow out the rack again, and if so, will it change the door fit?
