I am elbow deep in my mmi to s&s conversion and the dyna coil I bought is too thick to fit into the coil bracket welded into the frame. Bending the tabs of the coil bracket out will still not let it fit in far enough to get the bolts in. Is it safe to file some of the plastic off of the coil where it fits into bracket?
