Re: 1969 Chevelle Build
Fuel Cell mounts all done. JAZ 10 gal cell, 2" sq mild steel, 2" mild steel angle and some really poorly made, not bent square Jegs (hence why they were cheap) over the top fuel cell straps. Nothing too crazy, just tried to make it simple and safe. I ran 3/8" bolts through the 2" tubing and through the fore-aft stock fuel tank crossmembers. I added some .125" thick plate 4130 welded on the under the side at all 4 through bolt locations just to be safe. For final assy the cell will be sitting on 1/8" thick rubber to avoid and abrasion/ vibration issues. I am happy with how it came out. Still pressing forward on this project.
