    Not too worried about shavings in tank, can just put something underneath, or use a magnet to clean it up. Don't want to usr stainless, worried about galvanic corrosion. Can't get original screws out, they are that rusted. just gonna cut them off.

    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    Here is a pic with the RTV dry, other than the bolts, you can hardly tell where it is. I have a can of bedliner to go over it to keep it quiet and secure.



    All you need to do this job is an angle grinder or circular saw and the cutoff wheels, some self tapping screws, a few 1"x 1/4" nuts and bolts with lock washers, and about 18" of 1" wide 1/8" thick steel bar, RTV and paint to suit. The bars run fore to aft and are held in place by the 1/4" bolts. Very easy project to do.

    sounds like the hole in the floor is just the trick. would really be helpful if someone doing it would take a picture and add some reference point and dimensions for where to cut the hole

    Post #4 shows a pretty good shot of where it needs to be. It doesn't have to be very accurate and if you are using a patch from another vehicle you can start small and go bigger as needed.
