Default clutch cover

putting a reverse on my trike. the problem is the clutch cover will probably be spaced out .the bolt holding the hydro line will hit the top pipe. 2 options. grind the head of the bolt down half way. might just clear or put a indentation in the pipe.what would be my best way to do the second option thanks all

you need at least 1/8 inch of material across that will connect to the piston location perhaps the front of the cover machined into the piston area = could work you need to look at movement of the line and plugging the original spot
