    Gas tank strap studs

    Does anyone happen to know that part number for these studs? Or does anyone happen to have a set laying around that i can buy. TIA

    Have you removed the nuts yet? If not, it’s all reusable despite what people say

    I removed the nuts and dropped the tanks and left the studs in place. When I was installing the tank, the stud wasn’t long enough to reach the stud. What was I doing wrong Zack

    It was quiet easy for me. I took the wheel off and was able to access it pretty easily

    Drill out the trunk

    I drilled out the trunk sheet metal (above the stud) with a hole saw and installed a (long enough) stainless steel bolt to easily connect the strap. Plugged the hole with a expanding rubber plug (as used for freeze plug replacements).
