BigKev-
My local radiator repair place reworked my fuel tank for less than $200, did a great job, and now I don't worry about the fuel tank...
I broke the t-bolts holding my tank as well, my father in law fashioned some new ones out with a welder, they work great.
I used some of the original padding, but not all, between the straps and the tank. I notice they sell that stuff, not sure how important it is, my guess is to ensure a quiet ride, but it could be more important, like two metals rubbing against each other, causing friction, which may not be a good thing on a tank full of fuel.
