Hi All,
Some time ago I was sorting out an oil tank mounting on a friends A10
He sent off to "drags" for all the rubbers etc, really disappointing to receive random bits of rubber hose
I found a proper set of rubber bits from another supplier
If the proper rubber is fitted over the steel tube then the nut can be fully tightened
The pair of steel "cups" at the rear of the tank are often hammered to death, I made a press tool to make a few
again the distance tube and correct rubber parts allow tightening of the bolt, remember to check that the spacing tube between the frame plates is still there , very often missing and the frame plates squashed inwards
I piece of threaded bar and two nuts placed between the plates can be used to jack the plates apart and refit the spacer
