I think helms calls for replacing hose clamps too.

This without removing the tank ? I was hoping on just replacing the straps and hardware. I have the manual and should have probably looked. I did the under tank valves already. As you stated I don’t see the white valve on the 98 diagram.

No I think the clamps only need to be replaced if replacing/disconnecting the fill hoses. For some reason I thought you were swapping the tank not just the straps.

Picked up a Crow 6 point harness for the driver side. Liked that they are somewhat local and can be sent in for recertification when they expire.

Tried the TE's on the car. Love that they're original finish and are in great shape but I may have to refinish them down the road. Not sure about the silver and white. Bronze maybe?

I think the white will look great on silver!

I didn't realize they were in the US, much less NorCal. That is a perk. :thumbup:

I dig the white on silver. I vote get the car on the road, enjoy the car, and refinish down the road if the white doesn't "grow" on you.

I may just have to see it on the ground.

They are down in So Cal but close enough! Lol. And yeah that was my plan, see if they'll grow on me after some time.
