Never got back and add up all the $$ you spent lol

It’s a lot less painless a little at a time!

Glad to see you back around.  I love that color of TA. Yours looks great! I used an aftermarket tank for my LS swap and I was surprised how well they replicated the original.  I too used my original straps, haven't heard that the OER units don't fit. Good to know.

These are the straps.  The gas tank is not flat in the bottom, but the straps are flat.  Maybe I could have bent the stainless straps, but I didn't want to chance wasting $75.  I'll keep them in case I get an FI tank down the road.

That is the truth.  I probably could have paid off the house with how much $$ I sank into my cars  :P

Just don't tell my wife :-D

Thanks for the link.  That looks like it needs to be bent to match the bottom of the tank, like the other pair I got.
