A friend of mine had a high end restoration done on his Clipper. He used a Hotronics battery disconnect. It is operated by a mini toggle under the dash. Great theft deterrent and one not need to raise the hood to disconnect the battery. With shipping about $157. I got one as soon as I saw his in action!

Made the job effortless!! Thank you Howard!!
I removed the T-bolts and cleaned them with a wire wheel brush. Next, before installing the T-bolts, I coated the threads with anti-seize. I ran the nuts down all the way to get all the threads coated, then removed them. When tightening the straps, I tightened them enough so the straps were tight against the tank but there is a point in the very middle of the tank where they do not contact the tank. I was concerned about over tightening which might cause them to fail. BTW, Summit Racing and Tanksinc.com both carry the fuel strap T-bolts. A pic of the operation below:

I am reinstalling the tank. No matter what I do, I cannot get the tank strap bolts to go through the hole in the frame. It is as though they were too short but, they weren't as the tank came out!! There must be a trick to it.
Any advice??

Definitely not DIY unless you know what you are doing. Even changing the pinion seaseal can damage the pinion if not done correctly. It takes someone familiar with differentials.

I agree. When I pulled my rear axles, I was impressed with the robust design. Everything was built like a heavy duty truck!
