Tank mounting help

Post by danielhowden »

Hi, I have a 1978 R100s. I am mounting the tank, there is a rubber part at the front of the frame that the tank presses into but at the back there is a strap across the back bottom part of the tank with two mounting holes in it. It looks like the two holes in the frame tubes will correspond with the holes in the tank mounting strap but there is a gap between the tank mounting strap and the frame tubes. Is there a rubber block that should sit between the two?

Thanks, Daniel.
