Any ideas you guys have would be appreciated.

Thanks!
Turn the mounting blocks inwards,so that the back of it is facing the servo, you'll have to drill new holes(use four screws); this gives a little extra reach. Also, extend the oblong hole in the right hand plate inward to get the rest of the way.
I've used the Hitec 235AG(same case as the 225) in my mini with no problems.
I use the Kimbrough large servo saver, never had any problems with it & no need to assemble an expensive solution to Tamiya's inability to make a decent servo saver.
