carrots 1 Posted December 10, 2016 I've bought some stainless fuel tank straps for my 55ltr tank.is it an easy job to do.am I likely to need any new bolts or other parts.cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fla 9 Posted December 10, 2016 No but i would clean up the old bolts and either spray them or coat them with some coppercoat grease. Ideally you would also replace them with stainless ones. Make sure you put some wood or something similar under the tuels tank to support it when you take the old straps off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
