I installed a new stainless tank in my 68 lemans today . Came with new stainless straps, stainless sending unit, top pad, strip pads for straps, and some generic 3/8 3" pan head bolts which I didn't use as a package deal. Install was kind of tricky because it seams the tank from side edge to side edge was a little wider than my old tank which I didn't measure beforehand and my exhaust seemed to be in the way. Undid the hangers and got each pipe to move 3/4" or so and bent one corner of the tank with a pair of nines enough to clear. Other than that install was fairly simple. The neck on the new tank seemed to be about 1 3/4" longer than old tank (which I don't think was original) as shown in pics but didn't make a difference. most importantly, the neck was pre bent already and needed no further "tweeking" for proper clearance of bumper for gas cap. I didn't put any coating on the tank and hope I won't regret it. I did use spray adhesive for top and bottom pads. Overall I'm impressed and hope it lasts!!
