Couple of weird rats nest reinstall Qs

Hi all,

I've finished rehosing my rats nets, I'm in the process of reinstalling it now.

I've ran into a couple of weird issues though....

First one, with the rats nets aligned over the bolt holes it doesn't look as though there is enough room for the fuel line: (I've pencilled in fine red lines to show where the fuel line should go.....

The second one, Looking below the rats nest, I can see another bolt hole, which looks as though something should be in it.... (as in the pic)

Sorry for the dump Qs, its been over a year since I took it off and my memory has gone a little :P

I'm assuming the two are related and something should go under the nest....?

Thanks

Dave

when i put mine back in, it didn't go exactly as it was before i pulled it. the fuel line should still fit for the most part. mine rubbed the nest's bracket so i put a rubber piece around that section of the fuel line to keep it from getting damaged. i'd suggest just working it around and until if fits, just be careful not to mess anything up, of course.
