Re: "Elwood" the 77_remix
Sunday was a productive day. It was time to tie up loose end and determine what's next. I double checked all the bolts on all the hardware and moved on to the tanks. I had two 3 gallon steel tanks mounted out back. I had hoped to change that and mount them under the cab on the drivers side.
Ridetech sent a single 5 gallon and two 3 gallon aluminum tanks for me to test fit. After measuring and mocking up, I determined that the location under the cab was just not going to work. Its feasible, but it would require me to fabricate a mounting system to get proper placement of the tank bungs. I decided the original location would be best.
Initially I thought I could use the original tank rack , but the aluminum tanks mounts differently. The old rack had been welded in, and I wanted this to be bolt in the event I ever needed to service them. I checked my scrap stock and found a piece of 1x1" steel tubing. It was perfect for what I had in mind.
