Re: Boyd welding gas tank
Great tank, easy to mount. I used 3/8 grade 8 hardware. I then marked the flange on the tank for the layout of the bolt holes. Spacing evenly 4 holes per side. Drill holes in tank flanges first,I then used a ratchet strap to hold the tank in position up against the frame rails, then using the holes in the tank flanges to locate the position of the holes needed in the frame, drill through the holes in the flanges and through the frame. 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.
