    Measurement for Gas tank Expansion tank connections

    I am looking for a photo and measurements where the 1" brackets to hold the expansion tank connect (welded) to the inside fender (I believe both are on the headlight bucket)

    Hopefully you can get an idea from these. Hard to get a measure up in there and both brackets angle down.

    Yes thanks Peter. It’s weird. Sometimes, no issues. Sometimes rotating,,, I get tired of previewing, rotating, previewing, rotating, lol.

    Left bracket is pretty close to 8” center of the bracket and angles down 15Deg or so. Right bracket is 5-6” off the top of the battery box though it’s seemingly welded on the same plane as the left which makes sense. The landing area for the strap on the tank is a bit wider than the strap IIRC so there’s a little wiggle room on the angle.

    Could get a better measurement of the angle and the length of protrusion this evening after work if that helps.
