Does anyone have a photo of what the fuel tank strap bolts to on the boot floor on a 1971 clubman as my boot floor has been repaired badly and i dont know what is meant to be there. Thanks craig

Anyone?

Is a Clubman any different in the boot to a roundnose?

Is it a 7.5 gallon tank or the 5 gallon tank? Can take some shots of the sMall tank tommorow.

The strap bolts into a captive in the floor from memory ( although it might be nut and bolt then up and over to the seat back.

Later one goes round the side. Don't know about them!

I think its a 5 gallon tank, the strap go's up and over to the back seat.

Just adding to soniks epic photo. There is no captive under for the strap it just bolts up and into the captive on the strap

Not on mine, there is a captive nut on the boot floor pan. Mine is a 74.

Interesting mines a mk2, no captive but threaded in the tank strap.

The captive nut is identical to the earth point mount as well. Defo factory fit.

Hmm I'll check again tommorow I need to fit the tank. It's got a heritage floor in it modified to mk2 specs by mini machine so I assume its accurate!

Pm sent dr s

So it sounds like there is a captive nut on the under side of the boot floor to bolt down to, like the battery ground lead
