Re: New gas tank u bolt

If you want to take it a step further, the last ones I made I decided to use stainless steel. You just need to make sure to get the correct grade of stainless, I forget what it is but there is one grade that allows for easier threading.

I would suggest cutting the threads first as the die holder arms may interfere with the other side if it is bent first. Also don't cut the rod to the exact length first, leave a little extra and trim as needed as the final step.
