Gas Tank Hold Down Straps

Post by Donovan »

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to figure out what to do about the hold down straps for the gas tank. Mine were missing from my GPA so I do not have anything as an example. Can GPW gas tank straps be modified to do the same thing or are the straps completely different?

Thanks,

Donovan

Hello donovan
I've taken a few pictures of my tank straps and the full length size is
72,5 cm.
I think you can modify Ford straps.

Bob,

Thanks. It is what I thought but did not want to spend the money and find out they were useless.

Thanks again,

Donovan.

Thanks for the measurement Bob, I also still need these tank straps, but I think it is possible to modify GPW tanks straps. Just needed the length :)
