My TR3 has a little bit of a kink in that line too (perhaps 1/4"). But I
believe it would be better to get it to line up, by adding more thickness to
the mounts if necessary. (I'll do that, if I ever take the tank out.)
As long as the tank is held firmly (don't forget it weighs close to 100
pounds with a full load of fuel), I don't see any problem with exposed
threads on those bolts.
