Artie,the header tank should be restrained with two straps, having a 1/8 inch (about) fiber layer seperating the metqal strap from touching the tank. The books suggests the straps should be snug, but not too tight.... The tank is easily crushed if too tight.... Maybe siomeone left the straps too loose.....thus the tank settles down when full and drags on the controls...
Is your panel original ? Revised panel layout could place the control wheels and shaft at a higher than normal position and cause the rubbing.????? As to clearance ---??? I really don't know...My panel has been modofied, so I can't give you my figurews, but I would thing about 1/2 " free clearance... You may try tightening up the straps..... Later coupes used a tank mounted on a aaluminum mounting plate....someone recently posted that theior coupe, with this type tank mount had failed, rivets pupped out of the tank and caused leaking.
