is this the correct latch for a 67 oil tank

[moito]

i think it is not the correct shackle for a 67`
how does the correct one look like.

part #48

I think that is for a later car, pretty sure the 67 is made to clamp around the fender support. If no one else has a picture I'll take one of mine tomorrow.

i think the pictured item is an antenna bracket

John, I was just going to say that

My 73 oil tank lower support bracket that mounts to the fender support, looks exactly like the one pictured but it is painted black. Gled

lwbs and swbs oil tanks have different attachment position and inclination in that area.

The part posted is an already produced Lwb oil tank latch.

It should be black if original.

Unfortunately the swb one's is different and NLA.

I found a nos piece only once in a collection some time ago...

so i assume the part is done like the front bumper ones that go on the j-pipe .

if someone could please post a pic or two or 3 would help me a lot to built one.

thank you

I haven't put mine back on yet, but here are a number of pictures of it. Let me know if you need any further pics or measurements.

Franz, Andrea70, Ed Mayo, and Buddeman, thanks for entering this conversation. Andrea70 confirms my belief that the 67 support configuration is indeed different from the later ones. Franz's piece is the same as the one Buddeman kindly sent pictures of, and hence will not fit the 67 system. The shot of #48 in the PET that Franz shows is, I believe, the "proper" clamp, but it is impossible to know what it looks like (size, etc) from the photo. The parts books does show a different support/clamp with a different part number listed as starting 1969 which I believe is the part Franz is producing. So, where are we? Awaiting the photo that Ed Mayo will submit showing the device on his 67. This should be definitive. Again, thank all of you for your help on this mystery. Jim
