I ordered some T-Bolt clamps from Clampco to replace the formed metal bands supplied with the kit. I masked the attachment hardware and sandblasted the stainless steel bands for better primer adhesion and then applyed a polyurethane topcoat. I also mounted the rubber rub strips in the tank saddles.
I as well as Bill, have several surplus T-Bolt clamps since we had to make minimum purchases. If Bill's stock is depleted, drop me a note at rreese7630@aol.com and I'll check mine.
