Doug, I got out, and built an angle iron bracket that the tank cradle can sit on. There are a place for two bolts at the bottom left rear engine compartment over the muffler. I affixed the bracket with those bolts, and then put screws in to hold the tank bracket. I still need to put screws in the top tabs though. I got the gas tank back up, the only hose I have not gotten yet, is the vent hose on the driver side. I have water in the lines... and got it running again but bad ignition switch caused it to die, I believe. I have a new one... have to find out how to put in, when I get time to look it up. It's coming along.!!! Lyle Lathem 1985 Vanagon GL |
