anyone cut the gas tank holder tabs out?
I relocated the gas tank, and am wanting to put a sub box behind the seat. Trying to figure out if it is worth the trouble to cut the mounting tabs off or just build the box around them. Thanks.

I used them to secure my box, easy to do and strong enough to keep it from rattling.

Re: anyone cut the gas tank holder tabs out?
Mine was 3/4" and I used thin 1/4" for the backside up against the cab wall.
It's not perfect but the 10" subs will hit pretty good when I turn it up.

Re: anyone cut the gas tank holder tabs out?
your tank might rusty, and all corroded inside, so if i was you, i would just avoid cutting up your tank, that can just make more problems. Especially where it's so easy to build a bracket

Re: anyone cut the gas tank holder tabs out?
I wasn't going to cut the tank, it is already gone. I was talking about cutting the tabs out that are in the back of the cab that the tank bolts to.

I used those tabs to hold the my subs and speakers down, which works really well, i don't know how things would work if you cut them out, so i can't help you there, sorry
