LMC Gast Tank Question

Recently purchased an LMC top fill under the bed gas tank. It came with 2 bolts/nuts and also 2 bolts that are L shaped on the end. Anyone know why these are L shaped and also any special way im suppose to use these? Thanks.

Also, title should say "Gas" not "Gast"!

The L shaped ones go into the frame.

Some folks can post a pic to show you how they run, if not I can do it later today.

The two bolts are used for the straps on one side, and the l-shaped grabs the straps on the other side and allows you to tighten or loosen the straps.
