Thanks. The new straps don't have the J-bolt on the end - they have flange brackets on both ends. I think I can re-use the old J-bolts on one side though.

I have another problem - the fuel fill intake on the tank has a 1 1/4" O.D. but the filler neck on my Burb has a 1 1/2" OD. I'm having trouble finding a reducer or a fitting that fits. Anybody have any suggestions?

Thanks,
-Jamie
