The Set up: Faber 12L (x2), Agir bands, SS BP, 40lb Explorer

Then I added a new Halcyon V weight (type secured by the bolts)

The problem: The bolts seem about 2cm short once the rig is assmembled (they are the 12cm bolts, and only just come level with the BP eyelets)

The only thing I can think of is the circumference of the tank? The tanks have 13.5kg stamped on them, did they produce a tank with a thicker wall?
No problem to get longer threads cut, but want to make sure I havn't missed somthing
Suggestions on a postcard please
James
