Weld some thread? I thought the strap had a fold-back with a slot that held a 'T' piece, with the thread on the vertical of the 'T'. The fold-back was riveted to the strap.
Or is my memory not that good? Mike C

spot on
Mike you are spot on but whenever I go to undo a rusted tank strap they always shear off just at the end of the thread so the easy fix was to grind a point on the old bolt and graft a new thread on. Fix two is un rivet strap fab up “T” bolt and re-rivet strap.

May need a ground strap on the tank
Hi Robert
Noticed that you are using what looks to be rubber strips under the straps for rub protection. I did the same thing and one problem I ran in to was inconsistent ground on the tank fuel gauge sender. Some times gauge worked and sometimes not. Turned out it was depending on the fuel line for grounding. Solution was a length of the small woven ground strap material from one of the mounting screws on the gauge sender over to the frame. Enjoy watching the progress. Cheers Phil

Thank you for the replies. My computer has been in getting repaired for the last two weeks so I am just catching up. 99 threads have been updated since I last logged on.
To repair the strap I cut thread off a bolt and oxy welded it to the stub with about an inch of no.10 fencing wire. Yes I used rubber strip under the straps and grounding is not a problem as the senders don't work. I will take more pictures tomorrow.
