WJSmith Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 I am in the process of putting my sherpa back together. I have fitted the fuel tank (aluminium) with the long mounting bolt through the front, but am a bit lost at the back of the tank. Is it just the seat that holds these tanks in place? Or is there a strap of some sort that holds it? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feetupfun Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 If you fit a foam piece around the top frame tube to support the tank it assists holding the tank in place but the main rear attachment is the front end of the seat 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b40rt Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 Be careful with the long front bolt, if its rubbing / tight to mount, it will wear the tank causing leaking. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes very important, thus there are special rubbers for the bolt with angeled surfaces to follow the tank distributed from Bultaco, you should get them through InMotion or other Bultaco spare parts distributer. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJSmith Posted August 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 Ok people thanks for the advice. The tank has the proper grommets with sleeves fitted to prevent the issue with the front bolt. Here it is at the moment ? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
