You could cut the post and that rubber tube thing in half pretty easily and run it that way.

I'm planning on putting in a stock SJ tank, could just cut it down if it is too close.

Now that I have a moment I wanted to post some pics and get the thread up to speed.
Working with Krash on the hood damage. Trying to get a quote to get it repainted, but with life crap getting in the way I haven't been able to go somewhere and check. I am doubtful they would be able to color match it though.
When I received the hull the impeller was dragging in the pump, even with a ton of grease in there...
Pulled off the midshaft and alignment looked decent. Pulled the pump out, by having to disassemble it, and it was indeed rubbing. Talked to Nick and he said it was tweaked because of mis-shimming. It had two .40mm shims on each of the front mounts. Says it needs to be reshimmed and put back together to be good to go...
Impeller was also bent at the top

Krash is in the process of exchange, last I heard.

No, they aren't replacing this one because Nick says it was just a shimming issue. Once shimmed it shouldn't rub. Although I believe the offer is still open if the shimming does not fix it. The impeller on the other hand needs to be addressed since the pump isn't being exchanged. Haven't made it that far yet.

wow, not impressed with what I am seeing here. You pay good money for something it should come the way you ordered it. Hopefully they take care of the issues for you!

I am hopefull they will. Just got out of surgery so happy to be on to recovery and dealing with the next set of issues haha.
Guess the next step is buy some shims, you guys recommend a certain type from a website? Need pump and engine shims.

I order mine from mcmaster, part number 97235K808. These work for motor shims and pump shims.

The mcmaster shims work good.

Maybe online shopping isn't a good thing to do on pain killers....
