Went to fit the 85lt drop tank on my VN and replaced all the hoses painted it liquid chrome with black straps. I fitted one strap up fine and the other one is different :p the left side on mine is bolted and this one is a wedge type fitted one so i will cut it off and weld 3-4inches of my old strap onto it so i can bolt it up. then i can fit the surge tank and external pump. lack of motivation that is for sure haha.

Thats pretty much what I did, overlapped them a few inches rather butting them up to each, works fine

Yeah pretty straight forward i thought it was just a bolt up job, are all the V8 straps the same? this came off a 94 stato from that the sender unit and guy that i bought it off told me.

Car isnt really in prime state atm, some panels have been sanded back and it looks like crap haha. As it sits atm 18s on front 15s on back, drop tank fitted up but waiting to cut the strap i did it but i stuffed up and 4got the rubber on top of the fuel tank so its not lining up right so i have to cut/weld the strap again then that will be all good to go.

I've got carpet for the boot cut up some checker plate to mount the 044 and 2l Surge tank in the boot on top of the arch. everything is good to go really just lack of motivation and Home renos getting in the way.
