Not all tanks leak under the steering bracket.

My 29 had a 3/4 inch crack a 1/2 inch BELOW the bottom edge of the steering bracket.

1. We soldered a brass "patch" to seal the hole in addition to soldering the bracket.

2. Removed the bottom half of the bracket, leaving the upper half, incase someone wanted to return to stock setup.

3. And added the 31 bracket that is fastened to the dash rail.

Since tank is out it might be best to have it magnafluxed around the steering bracket in addition to soldering the bracket.
