Also, the bracket (with two screws holding the tank >on,) looks original and made for the tank. 405D is square and was used until VIN 24-D-089-112 in WBX. 403A is round and superceded 405D and is listed as current for '84 after that VIN. 403B is also round and is listed as current for '87. They use the same drawing to show both, so any differences are small. david
