Prop governor interference

[Low Tailwheel rider]

PCU5000X and bracket from Showplanes. I had the governor set up to range from 10-2 o'clock with clockwise decrease. My rational is that I wanted a straight path across the top of the push rod tubes for my cable. I can pass the fuel line from spider to cylinder thru the bracket. As is, I have a cable and fuel line interference issue because of the bracket geometry and the way I had the governor set up. Thought I had it figured out, Ha! My query to the smarter ones is this: I figure I have three options here: (1) Have the PCU set up differently, but that = $$ and I have to send it out. (2) Modify the bracket to reposition the cable pass thru a bit higher via cutting and welding to eliminate the interference... that seems "doable" to me. (3) Reposition the fuel line somehow and leave the bracket unmolested. I do not know if that is possible or acceptable for any reason. If I could take it over the top of the bracket and keep it secured appropriately, is that a real possibility. Looking for any ideas, thoughts, or suggestions. Thanks so much!!

2 or 3 work. No real need to weld the bracket if you slot it, leaving the top angle in place. This carries almost no load. Can also just drill a 1/2” hole higher up on the bracket and run the line through that. No problem running the line above the bracket, just need to make an extension plate for the two adel clamps to connect.

Can also rivet or bolt a plate onto the end of the bracket and drill a new hole that puts the cable higher. Could also weld it on, but don’t believe that is required here. Not much load here.

Like this idea! Appreciate the reply
