I used a mall to paint the number back on the tank and then putt it on it's brackeds, I used rubber strips between the tank and the brackeds.
Dos'nt it looks great, to bad I have only one tank. I am looking for the lefthand side tank with the small filling pipe and the brass plate with the valve and sender unit, so if anybody nows one.
cheers jaap

Jaap..
Putting the rubber gaskets under the tank straps may effect the grounding of the tank itself..with out witch your gas gage may not work..I'm going from memory here but I believe that the tank sending unit is a one wire sending unit and depends on the tank being grounded to have the guage read properly..other wise it may read all over the place or not work at all..
Don't know but makes sense to me..Check it out.

But beautiful work on your vehicle..
