The petrol tank was original suspended from u-clips (similar to leaf spring clips) which are much smaller than the holes in the brackets being barely thicker than wheel spokes. I have doubts that these are original and given the weight of a full tank of fuel, I'm concerned that these are not up to the job and will give way at an inconvenient moment.
The brackets and clips are not illustrated in the parts book, presumably because they are considered part of the body?
Reminiscences happy or otherwise from anybody who has successfully installed a tank will be welcome
Thanks
Sandy Croal sent a drawing on the old forum, I believe I have the drawing if I can find it tomorrow I will post it. It consisted of two “Z” shaped brackets attached to the floor which the tank was then bolted to. No U bolts involved.
