fuel tank clamping bands: MK-II*

[Michael R.]

I am making the clamping bands for the MK-II* C31UCW. The parts manual has a good illustration, and the description covers the assemblies with both the CTL 14206 and CTL 14207 pin and bolt.

Can someone please advise me what the factory top and side strap lengths are for the MK-II*? Both my top and side samples are limited to a small portion of the complete factory produced straps.

The MK-I* uses a turnbuckle assembly to tension the top and side strap. That assembly is dissimilar to the pin and bolt set up used on the MK-II*. While I could get pretty close with a calculated guess, the factory lengths are most desirable.

If nobody else comes up with the measurements, I think I have a loose set in good shape out in the shop. I'll check but it won't be until tomorrow evening.

Swell, thank-you very much.

Midwest Military has made the correct straps for the MKII with the correct center swivel pieces as well.
