Say, anyone out there know of a diagram on how to mount the gas tank. I see there are some brackets and bolts with springs but no one can tell me all the parts involved or how it mounts in the frame and the tank. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I think the bolt and spring mount in the center at the back, Will look when I go out to the shop later.

The two flat brackets with no spring go toward the rear of the car. It should have a pad between the tank and the metal bracket. The one with the spring is on front of the tank. I put a rubber pad between the tank the chassis and the bracket.

Dennis Carpenter, and others, sell a kit of the fasteners needed to properly attach the tank to the frame.
