Re: Fuel tank strap, U Bolt dimensions ?

Here's what I made. In the end I went with a stronger design. If one of these welds breaks the tank could fall out. instead I took 1/8" thick steel, 1" by ~8" and drilled 3/8" holes the correct distance apart and welded the bolt heads to the plate. this way if the welds break the bolt will still hold the straps in. Make sense?
