I have noticed the throttle cable mechanism bracket at the right hand side of the carbs is rubbing away at the petrol tap spigot on my roadster tank. Anyone had same problem and come up with clever fix?

I replaced the rubber boots between the manifold and carb with slightly shorter high temp hose. Gave a little more clearance and no problems since.
