my path..
.. is strewn with cowpats from the devil's own herd.
well, I got the chassis rail moved over and welded and lowered engine so that is exhaust will leave via the old hole bonnet will fit over the carbs -
still needs a bit of fettling there.
but ofcourse this requires my lovely engine mounts to be shortened.... not an easy task but done one side ready for wleding.
the moutns sit a 454 degrees so making them shorts, mover the base point so that my mount no longer sits centrally over the rubber buffer
gonna have to drill a hole to move the buffer over 10 mm which will helkp but is not ideal - cannot move it more than that as the chassi rail is in
the way

Change the angle of the tube?
Or is that too simple?

redo them!?!??!?!?
not keen on that - tales ages to bend up the steel to correct angle, cut. file, grind weld ... plus I don't have the steel and will probably run
out of gas.

If it's exactly like you've drawn it then I wouldn't worry about it.
Not sure about your's Big_Wasa, I'd prefer a little more support than that myself.
