OK, today I did the tank mounting. I decided to use the rivnuts to make sure the tank stayed in place.
First, I set the tank in place then marked the hole 'closest' to the rear seat. Marked it with a punch, then drilled a pilot hole. Once I 'centered' the hole and the tank, I went ahead and drill out 25/64 and installed the rivenut:
After that I bolted down the tank into position, then marked the 'second' hole, moved the tank, drilled the pilot hole, then, re-positioned everything to validate the holes would be centered:
Drilled it out (noted the 'blue' glue used by the factory) and then setup the rivnut:
Bolted down the tank to confirm she works!:
Yea, that works!
Next I'll need to lay down the trunk carpet, put holes in for the tank bolts, get 'hex' bolts, pull the rear seat out, route the wiring and hose...
I went with rivnuts so I could be sure to have a 'solid' hold on the tank and not move or come loose during racing...
