Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Suspension OMP STB tight against brake fluid reservoir

I recently installed an OMP front strut tower bar, and it seems tight in two places on the drivers side:
First: Against some of the air conditioning lines (at least I think that is what they are). From reading here I expected that.
Second: it is VERY tight against the brake fluid reservior and it's cap. So tight that I won't be able to get the cap off without taking the bar out.
Is it normal to be that tight? And is there a different cap, like a pop-top cap or something, that I can put in so that I can fill the fluid?

Thanks,
tom
