Once all 8 holes were complete I lowered the tank removed the strap, and tack welded nuts over the 8 bolt holes. When mounting the tank I used a strip of bicycle inner tube between the tank flanges and bottom of the frame, I also added a couple drops of loctite to the bolts, just for reassurance.
Thanks for the tips and looks good! What paint did you use on the frame?
