Re: 31 gallaon late model gas tank
I used a '73 30 or 31 Gal tank and it worked really well. I made two wood blocks for the tank to rest against reworked the neck to fit and made the rear strap brackets. the whole project took a good days work.

Re: 31 gallaon late model gas tank
It's been 4 or 5 years since I did the work but if I remember I just removed the crossmember and when I put in the wood blocks I used wood screws from the top to hold them in place. I put in the tank with the neck to the stock '71 position-to the left- The work on the filler tube was cutting it and rotating & bending it slightly to wave it line up with the tank inlet. I'll try to show the pictures of the tube.
