Subject:'85 vs '90 : Gas tank and Gas tank Straps
From:Jeff Lincoln

Hey Gang -

Will the gas tank and tank straps on the '90 parts van fit OK on my '85?

The tank on the '85 needs to be re-sealed and continues to clog the filter
so it must be full of crud - figured if it will fit I'd swap in the tank
from the '90.

Plus, someone at one time or another must have had that '85 tank out before
- when they did they bent the crap out of the two metal tank straps - both
have a very noticable downward bow/bend to them.

Thanks,

Jeff
