| Since it's pretty obvious what needs
to be done to make the tank fit (try sliding it in.
If it's not fitting, trim something.), I'll just show
some pictures to confirm that it's done. |
|
| Even though the rear spreader bar will
cover the back side of the tank flange, I decided
that my faithful readers would be disappointed if
I left the flange alone. So, I trimmed it along the
weld except on the passenger side where the weld doesn't
match the driver's side. I'm happy with the gap between
the body and the top of the tank. |
|
| I needed to trim the rails a bit as
well as the flange. I have used 3/8 button head bolts,
with weld nuts welded underneath the rail. We will
be switching to stainless button heads for the final
install. We won't be using anything between the tank
and the frame rails... we're not expecting it to move
enough to be a problem. |
|
| If everyone's tank fit like this, the
world would be a better place. We're using a TANKS
tank, part number 32-ZS. It has rounded corners like
a stock tank and uses a stock-style twist-on cap.
