Z-brackets...
These are the z-brackets right? I thought I had alignment problems with my z-brackets also. Finally I figured out that if I put bolts in the brackets in the right order without tightening any of them down I could get them all in. Here's what I did.
First thread one bolt into each bracket, just enough to ensure that it is tracking in the tread. Then I put the other two bolts into each of the brackets, again, just enough to ensure that each of the bolts is threading into the nutplate. Only after all bolts in all nutplates were in did I begin tightening them down.
I got good at this, even though the first time I put the tank on I thought that two or three of the brackets did not line up.
