gas tank mounting?

I order a under the bed gas tank ebay, it was scratch and dent at a great price.
its an LMC tank but the straps seem wrong?
Also it only came with 2 J mounting hooks?
Are the straps just bent to fit in the box or are they spouse to be bent, and how do i go about mounting this in?
Also they are bent with the mounts opposite.

Thanks!

Re: gas tank mounting?

Well i bent the straps to be straight and they seem like they will fit well, and i tested the tank and it has two little slots on each side that line up perfectly to holes in the frame.
Now its time to cut the holes in the frame for the mounting strap bolts, any words of advice for this?
