EDIT: found some. Thanks KLR3CYL!
So, my Citrus project has massive amounts of rust on just about everything that can rust - brake lines (rears exploded), rear axle, tank straps. This car's just about to the point where if it wasn't complete and in my favorite color I'd be seriously thinking about parting it out.
I've got a line on a couple rear axles, I'm replacing the brake lines with NiCopp, but I cannot find tank straps. They seem easy enough to fabricate from stainless if I were to get ahold of the right gauge of dimensional stock, but if I could buy off the shelf I'd still rather do that.
So, I guess I have 2 questions:
1) Anyone know where I can find a usable pair of fuel tank straps? I've checked OEM resellers and none of them stock it, I tried to buy a set on eBay and the seller "couldn't find them" and refunded me, and nobody seems to be parting them out.
2) Failing that, anyone other than myself interested in replacement fuel tank straps? I'd potentially be willing to make some, and the cost per/ea would decrease if I can buy more than 1 set's worth of raw material.
