well, one of my tank straps broke. are the spectra straps from advance worth it, any good?

i can get oem straps of ebay for 50ish, and the spectras from advance for 32 with a discount code.

 

Got any Sheets of metal laying around? I made one out of Tin. Just folded it in itself about 3 times. Riveted the ends from the stock strap on.

 

Ratchet straps, strong, wont rust out.

 

thats whats holding it now, ha! i have annual state inspections though. not gonna fly!

 

Redneck engineering strikes again!

 

It's an upgrade.

 

Hold mah beer 'n watch this.

 

I got the straps from Advance. That was a year or three ago. My gas tank is still hanging onto the truck...... worked fine. The rear is easy to change, the front is a bit more fun.

 

how fun? just so happens its the front one that broke.

 

Oh.....

Gotta drop the tank a bit to get the front one. It kinda clips into the frame. If you have the rear mount loose, you might be able to jocky the tank out of the way enough to get the new one on in front. Careful of the lines/electrical though, don't wanna break anything else.
