I've been wanting to do this for years. I finally got around to it. Finished product They were a little bigger that I would have liked but they were black. I got them at Harbor Freight. Made brackets out of aluminum and painted them black. I guess I could have dusted them off:) I cut the hooks out of the webbing. I cut the hooks themselves as I have an iron worker that will do that kind of thing. I left the loops in the webbing. I then used a soldering iron to burn holes through the strap. If you really wanted to get crazy you could slip a pin through the loop to keep it from pulling out but I really don't think you need it. Perfect for hauling around your twin cam L6 prototype head:)

Another thought that popped in to my head - the pressure inside the tank might contribute to the gassy smell by pushing fumes or liquid through any small leaks in the filler neck, in to the cabin. But the tank's outlet and return lines will see the same pressure. So it won't affect fuel pressure, since fuel pressure is between the pump and the regulator. Doubtful that you would have over 28-36 psi of tank pressure under the cap since that would blow the tank up like a balloon. Just saying, don't get distracted by the odd things. There's a spring-loaded relief valve in the vent line that holds a small amount of pressure before venting. And a valve in the cap to let air in if pressure goes negative. So, the gas heats up, pressure builds, the gas cools down, the cap lets it reload. Also, on fuel pressure - a clogged filter could lower flow and pressure. Another simple fix, but only need to look at it if the measured pressure is low.

My company provided most of the parts for this build. http://wheelerdealers.discoveryuk.com/car/datsun-240z/ The Datsun episode will be part of the series 'double stacked premiere' on the 5th August at 10PM 8/5 @ 9P Wheeler Dealers: USA (S12A) Ep. - '65 GTO ​8/5 @ 10P Wheeler Dealers: USA (S12A) Ep. - '72 Datsun 240z
