Default Fuel tank strap.

Got one off a breaker last night that was on 4 axle stands,what a night mare that was, getting exhaust dropped was a pig of a job. Had a look under car though only a couple of 10mm bolts that hold the black cross brackets under the exhaust,every one must have been put in with locite an hour later got 2 off and ended up using angle grinder on the last one, then every exhaust bolts was rounded off, so had to go to manifold 3 15mm came off with a drop of wd40 no problem last one just wouldn't budge breaker bar out and snapped the last one broken stud in manifold, all the exhaust mounting where rock hard so a another hour later exhaust off loosened the fuel tank bracket bolts, oh joy wont come pass handbrake cables so out came angle grinder again damned after near 3 hours was i taking interior apart to do it right. So my advice is pay someone else to do it.
