Fuel Fuel Tank Strap Bolts

[Adieu]

I have no idea where I put the original fuel tank bolts when I yanked the leaky original out. Does anyone happen to know what size they are?

Sorry man, can't help you there with 100% certainty. I think they're 3/8....? I'm probably way off! But probably the best way to get a good ballpark is to check the holes in the straps. Generally speaking, clearance holes are 2 drill sizes over the size of your fasteners.

I had to destroy mine to get 'em out, 5/16 or 3/8 I'm certain. And much longer than you'd think.

EDIT with ebay link: This guy incorrectly measured them as M10s. That'd mean they're 3/8 if he was even close on the thread-gauge. And his length is 2 1/2 " converted to US units.
