Jim 1 Posted January 10, 2012 Best thing to do is look for a good set on a breaker / donor car and get them cleaned up and powder coated! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KIPVW 0 Posted April 21, 2012 Silly question are 16V fuel tank straps the same as VR6 and g60 ? Late 16v are same as VR6 Lukas 1.8 16v & G60 are Different, quite obvious when you look underneath at the 2 different tanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VR6Pete 0 Posted April 22, 2012 Well I've done my test fit and they fit great! I'll start a new feeler thread once I've confirmed a few things with my mate. Old straps looked like this; Dead lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon green 4 Posted April 22, 2012 Are you going to make the small joining clip as well ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 0 Posted April 22, 2012 We've had problems with that! Had 2 attempts so far. But needed get mine fitted for MOT so will revisit unless anyone is handy with metal? :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daves16v 1 Posted April 22, 2012 We've had problems with that! Had 2 attempts so far. But needed get mine fitted for MOT so will revisit unless anyone is handy with metal? :) I've had a go at this recently but wasn't happy with the end result, probably because I attempted a direct copy, I think it needs a slightly different approach. I can have another look at it if you like? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 0 Posted April 22, 2012 Yeah same here Dave. Just can't get the shape right at all! I can see why the original item was pressed. Feel free to have another look. Would be great if could get something that works well. Will prob take another look after I've got MOT done so I know what else I need fix/replace but hopefully it will pass and I can just try and sort insurance :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marshall936 0 Posted April 23, 2012 I'd be interested in a set for an early 16v if thats possible? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rado-steve 0 Posted April 23, 2012 I'd be interested in a set for an early 16v if thats possible? Luckily these are still available from your local Stealer! Its only the later cars with the biger 70 litre Tanks that the straps have been discontinued! ---------- Post added at 4:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 4:23 PM ---------- I'd be interested in a set for an early 16v if thats possible?
