Tried to fit my newly painted NC30 tank to my NC35 and the tank fouls on the screen brace, am i right in thinking i need a NC30 screen brace for the tank to fit

Dunno about the NC30 brace but I found the same, thankfully mine was a rather chipped and scratched tank already as although I bent the brace to clear the tank it still scraped in use.

I also found that making the brace clear the tank meant the brace hit the yokes, I had to make up a lockstop plate (see my posting in the style section) for the yokes not to hit.
