The positioning is pretty much decided.
We’ve kept plenty of flexibility, by the way.
We’re also thinking ahead to the possibility of swapping in a 1100 tank later if we change our minds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recovery might be important. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

We aligned the gaps using a relaxed A+B+C strategy that won’t fail. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’re reusing the existing brackets and inlaying them so they should be rock solid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We mounted it in a safe position. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For now we’ve put it back on the mackerel… the color makes the mackerel look lower, doesn’t it? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For anyone in the future who wants to put Katana bodywork on an Inazuma.
It looks like the 250\/400 tank and the 1100 tank differ slightly in overall length and line. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I want to make the lower mounting also go through a bracket for a solid setup. It’s a tough call. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
