Mar 16, 2020     Oil tank mount       Category: Engine
Mounted the oil tank. I am using a method recommended to me by an experienced builder where no tabs are welded to the tank that could fatigue and fracture. The tank is supported on the motor mount by a sheet of plywood. This sheet is attached to the motor mount with two clips. The tank is then strapped down onto this plywood mount with a stainless steel strap that is attached to the motor mount via two bushings with two bolts that are welded to steel plates that are in turn riveted to the stainless steel straps. Rubber bumpers stand the tank off from the firewall, and two angles with rubber bumpers keep the tank from sliding side to side that are located along side the lower part of the tank that extends through the plywood mount. It is quite secure.
