Step 9

Attach the mounting bracket to the gasoline tank tray
with two 3x8mm socket cap screws and 3mm lock nuts.
Position the bracket on the rear set of holes. Repeat this
process on the second gasoline tank tray, making sure
that you construct a left side tray and a right side tray. It
is possible to attach the brackets and end up with two left
(or right) hand sides.

Make one left
and right side.

Step 10

Locate the two guide marks on the bottom of
the fuel tanks.  Drill two 1.5 mm (1/16") holes
at the marked positions. Attach the gasoline tank
to the tank tray using two 3x10mm self tapping
screws. Apply a small amount of “goop” adhesive
between the tank and tank tray before tightening
down the screws. Make sure you orientate the
tank correctly in the tank tray. Repeat this process
for the second tank.

If you lightly coat the self tapping screws
with “goop” adhesive, you will be less likely to
cause cracks in the gasoline tank fiberglass.

Make one left
and right side.

Step 8

Begin the gasoline tank assembly by locating the gasoline tank
holding trays. Inspect the bottom of the tray and locate four hole
location marks. Drill all four marks with a 3 mm (1/8") drill bit.
Repeat this process on the second tray.

Make two
parts.
