Re: [T3] Engine Alignment

I looked around this area completely, and can't see anything out of the ordinary. On my fasty, it is a perfect easy fit.

I was told by a freind that I could loosen the 4 mustache bar bolts, jack up the engine a little, and attach the bellow, then drop the engine back into place. Are the bellow clamps strong enough, and will the bellow stretch enough to make this a long term solution? I don't want to feel paranoid about this on 200 mile trips ;-)
