Title: gas tank rear loop
Post by: butch27 on January 16, 2014, 08:00:23 PM

On my 1945 and also on '47 etc. There is a metal loop on the rear of the tank.  I thought it was for a mount of some kind but I can't figure it out. Any ideas??

That is a hold down brace. Some tanks with the single cap do not have them and some
have them.

I can't post pics. Not smart enough.  Hold DOWN loop or hold UP loop? And what does it connect to?

my old camera batt out.
The loop is pushed up from a bolt below it. Little flange goes against the loop and the bolt comes next> the bolt screws thru the horizontal bar that the light switch is bolted to. The bolt has two
nuts to lock the screw in place after you get the tank pressed up in place.
