No problem what-so-ever with clearance.  These vans were made to have a Propane tank on either side depending on the country they were delivered to.  I have personally installed many tanks, including the one on my personal ’87 Westy on the right side.  No problem,  two of the studs are there and you need to add two more, there are two welded on nuts covered with sealant there to accept the studs or bolts, your choice, in the proper location for the tank.

      Please note that I will be away from my business travelling from December 01 until April 30, 2017.  Parts orders will be processed although not as quickly as usual.  I will always be available for contact by E-mail.  If you phone your call will be addressed by Steven and he will either call you back or advise you to contact me directly by E-mail.  

Cheers,
