Too wide where? on the height or the width.

Sorry just re-read the first post, why not remove the euro bracing?

Plan "B" a couple of car jacks will widen the door frame quite a bit

The eurobracing needs to come off anyways. Why compromise the strength of the bottom seals when you can take that bracing off?

because the bracing is not actually sitting on top of the tank, it is siliconed around the inside of the tank
