And as I mentioned in the other post the tank line is 5/16" "The Armies of our ancestors were lucky, in that they were not trailed by a second army of pencil pushers."

And as I mentioned in the other post the tank line is 5/16" there are two tab clamps with the kit, but they are oval and larger than 3/8", and there is not rubber grommet or anything to take up the space. the hex head screw is also much larger than the hole in the fender. will see if any b-body people chime in!

Sorry for the poor quality, I think it was a 2mb camera! thanks, i appreciate it! those are good enough to give me a general idea, and bill at a&m told me it is a metal loop strap and sheet metal style bolt that hold it on there, so i should be able to get something going here.
