Photographic compression of relative distance I think you could call it, David. Just been to check, just in case, but all is well. There's at least 2" of clearance so no worries. Seen here from a different angle (must get some waxoyl on that mounting):
The exhaust probably isn't the original, but it's at least 35 years old, and it's the RP one. Alignment looks correct even though it passes under the tank. The later Ruby exhaust passes through a hole in the rear chassis member whilst the RP one fastens underneath (see silencer fixing on Ruairidh's special set-up). That may be why there are some differences.
I might invest in a side exit arrangement if the day ever arrives when I have to replace the system.
