35mm TMX on a RB.

Hi all,
I've just received a newly built RB 250 engine and I was given the choice of either a 35mm Mikuni TMX or a 34mm Del'orto to choose from. I choose the TMX as the are supposed to be easier to set up and IMO they look better. However it sits very very close to the engine mount so close in fact that I can't even get a jubilee clip on the fuel pipe. My question is would the Del'orto give more clearance and is anyone actually running with one that can confirm they are a better fit? Thanks in advance Pete.

Cheers Jon, I'm also not too keen on the way it sits on the p**s either.
