Reason I ask is because after trying a few different combinations I’ve found the side of the Right TVP to be the best, which will require a longer linkage - but the servo I’m using means that I can’t button up the last skid plate screw. See photos that hopefully explain.

Not sure if it helps as a side note - while looking at the K5.9 - there is a plastic insert that kind of clips into the HSN - I’ve found d that mine had wiggled down - so when trying to reset back to stock settings it was way off - hsn should look like this

My mid-tank has the throttle / brake servo moved into the empty space where the fuel tank originally sat.

How/where did you mount the steering servo - I'm using a Savox and wanted to keep the rubber mounting grommets as a bit of a buffer - wondering if the cushion the rubber grommet is taking up means that the skid plate mount is getting squished.
Would it be OK to run a servo mounted solid to the TVP without the rubber grommets?

The Savage with the forward sitting "mid-mounted" fuel tank has FLM Savage X equivalent chassis plates with a FLM servo / battery plate.
The steering servo is mounted in its normal spot, and the fuel tank sits off to its left.
The battery is located behind the fuel tank.
The throttle / brake servo sits where the fuel tank normally sits, and is attached to what I assume are FLM servo stand-offs; that are in turn attached to the chassis plate.
TBH - I bought this Savage used and someone else configured it before me.
A long time ago someone told me the rubber absorbs vibrations and thus prolongs the life of the servo. I don't know...
Mount it however you can get it to work.
I'm sure at some point in my life I've mounted servos sans the rubber grommets.
It's possible that I'm guilty of that transgression at this very moment.

I'm sure that it's not the optimal arrangement, but I can think of bigger sins in life.
