Hi everyone
I'm in need of the bracket that goes under the car to help to support the fuel tank. It is attached with 4 bolts which I also need. 
Any help would be greatly appreciated. ------------- you can run but you can't hide |

Hi, I remember making one out of sheet steel and drilling the 4 holes. I couldn't find one a a wrecker because all the gas tanks were pulled out and the plate thrown in the scrap bin.

You need someone who is actively parting out a car - there is a red car
on Craigslist for parts that probably still has it. I never thought to keep those parts when I did parts cars in the past |

Also the steel is much heavier than sheet metal as it is probably for
structural rigidity of the body. The tank is held up fine by the two straps |

Met a guy at Princess Auto recently and he was chatting up a storm, his name is Chatty Mike:).
He said to call Dave at 778-881-3336 and say he gave you the number as he has a Fiero he wants to move. Cheers, Brian ------------- Brian (Bassman) 86 GT Fastback 3.2L 2013 Mazda3 Sport GS SkyActive [IMG]http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u243/Bassman68/BassmanSignature.png"> |
