During the build up of my chassie I was carfull not to mount the expansion tank to high so as to avoid inteferance when the rear clip closed. The manual does mention this as a cautionary note. As you can guess I have interferance but not how I had envisioned.
There is a bulkhead bonded into the rear clip that should fall just behind the expansion tank as the clip closes. In my case that bulkhead contacts the side of the expansion tank and either distorts or forces the clip back inorder for it to close. I have been looking at repositioning the tank a bit higher but am not sure this will solve the problem.
I should point out that the firewall is a fixed point and I am using the factory set hinge location on the clip. The interfearnce occurs with the spyder set at the 350mm mark measured at the RF recommended point, with the rear clip lined up with the spyder.
Unless I am missing something my options are either to find out what mistake I made or alter the bulkhead to give the tank more room. My idea would be to bond in a one inch deep relief pocket into the bulkhead. Im hoping that before I do that someone might have had the same problem and corrected it.
