Chuck Pierpont Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 What is the purpose of the spring(s) that go over the gas tank mounting bolts? How many of the bolts had springs from the factory? Installing a new tank, the old one only had one bolt with a spring. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMAV8FORD Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 The purpose of the spring is to allow the frame to flex without forcing the tank to flex. Only one bolt gets a spring, the bolt that is on the side by itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
