RS34 Mikuni's on 77 Z1000

I decided to fit some RS34's to my 77 Z1000. After installing the carbs I have a problem when fitting the tank in that the petcock is resting on top of the carby.

Will a Pingel petcock provide the required clearance?

No not yet. I will have look tonight. The RS34's also interfere with the crank case vent filter. I am hoping they fit the same manifolds at the VM29's I took off as these look shorter than the billet manifolds and rubbers that came in the kit but I didn't check prior to installing the carbs as I wasn't anticipating any issues.

Should take the same carb boots as the BS34s.
My KZ1100B1 had the same petcock problem.
