[Mg-mmm] New fuel tank to new J2 tub

Yes, I use a complete rubber strip TC fuel tank mounting kit from Moss. It 
has all 5 pieces.

The bottom of the chassis frame rear cross member will have locating holes 
for the lower clamps. The bottom clamp has a peg that indexes with these 
holes and the straps go straight up, giving you the dimension. Once the tank 
is mounted you can detirmine how high the holes need to go in the new body 
tub back board.

These clamps are same though TC. Somebody made a batch of new ones but I 
can't remember who/where.  tommmmmmm
