Thread: 1971 911E Oil Tank Mounting Bracket Installation?

    1971 911E Oil Tank Mounting Bracket Installation?

    Can someone post pictures of a '71E/S oil tank mounted in a car from underneath?

    I was missing the bracket that (I think) wraps around the rear bumper support tube and goes to a tab on the oil tank. I ordered the bracket but and put it on the bumper support tube but the geometry doesn't seem to work out to attach it to the tab on the oil tank. The PET diagram is of no help either although it does show all the parts.

    I think I've either installed the bracket incorrectly or I might have the wrong parts.

    Thanks in advance for the help.

    I went and climbed under my card trying to be helpful - only to find my bracket is missing! Not sure why because I remember it. My Yellow 73 in progress is different.

    Thanks for the picture. It appears the bracket is supposed to be installed at the top of the tube.

    Is that rubber pad or bushing that goes between the bracket and the tab on the oil tank?

    I did this last night, not so good.
    It is the same area as the first photo in thread.
    (And rotated counter clock wise, cause of iPhone)
    My car was not restored and had been stored over 30 yrs, and still has these parts on them.
    1971.

    Okay. I think I see it now.

    It looks like I might need to bend the bracket somewhat to get everything to line up. I also need to find or make a rubber pad.
