Sorry, I didnt explain that too well.

Once I have the engine installed and servo/horn centred and squared, I adjust the brake engagement point, throw and feel with lengths of fuel tube (instead of the supplied springs, I don't get enough brake force from them for my liking) and then trim any excess linkage wire off if necessary.
As Tom says the MP9 is almost perfect from the box anway, so this may just be to neaten up the look more than avoid fouling the tank or fuel line.
Older Kyosho kits (MP5/6/7.5) had very generous linkage wires that you cut to your required length.
