Default Re: Three bolt can fitting? Thunderace.

Other thing to watch out for is when buying an oval can, the spacing may be the same but the angle the can ends up may be different. Looked at getting a can from a 2001 Blade for my 99 and although it would fit, the angle of the logo etc wouldn't be correct. No probs with a circular can as you can just rotate the end piece obviuously if you are poping the rivets anyway.

Hmmm... interesting - the two I've bought have fitted straight on.

What make was the can you bought? And was it off of a ZRX1100, or sold as for a ZRX1100?

The nation awaits!
