Dad and I set out to get the gas tank mounted. After correcting the mistake from last time we took our time to get things right on this day, however there was another misplaced bolt hole I need to fill from the day. Using a jack to hold the tank in place we carefully measured things out. Since the original braces were gone, we had to fabricate our own out of some chrome strips of metal. After massaging the straps, they went up and we bolted them down. The new bolts will be seen in the trunk by us, but other people will not see them because the trunk mat and light assembly will be there to hide it. We also put some tar paper (roofing paper) in between the straps and the tank. I had to fight off a huge army of ants to get the paper, but it was all in good fun.
