You're right to be very careful and thoughtful at this point. You will be setting up, not only your header tank clearance, but your canopy clearance and knee clearance too. I think 12 inches is too tight. I'll measure my clearance tonight but 14 inches is better I think. Also, your audio panel (presuming you put one it) can be the next problem point with the dust cover and ultimately the canopy glass. This may cause you to want to lower the panel or move it rearward. Both of these directions take away from knee clearance. I suggest fitting some foam in the radio stack area to represent your radios, connectors and wiring. Then position the panel to simultaneously solve the three clearance problems (header tank, canopy/dust cover, knees). Think through seating position (seat back and foam thickness).
