Anyone had to do this on their car? Just wondering if you've made up special brackets, bought some special brackets, or just used a few zip-ties?

I've done this, I'm having some brackets made up, but doing this at the moment.
Use metal adjustable clips not plastic. You need to run without the cover or you'll
have to remove it every time you need to adjust them.

There is a rubber spacer between the chasis rail and the reservoirs, you can get them
from BG developements at Silverstone.

Hi Nick. I rang BG today and they didn't seem to have a clue what I was talking about. Were your mounts definitely from BG? You wouldn't happen to have any product numbers I could give to BG would you?

They are not making the brackets for me, I'm having
a local engineering firm do that.
BG do have the rubber mounts though, they are concave
on both sides, one smaller cut out against the chassis rail
one larger against the reservoir.

Yea, that's who I rang, spoke to Simon in sales, seemed quite adamant that he knew nothing about them. Will have to give them another ring.

Ask for Ben, he knows my car, so should know about the rubber mounts.
My susspension came from BG so am a bit surprised they didn't know about
the spacers.
