I didn't want to replace my original tank, but the forward mount bracket had come loose in the unknown past and some type of resin was used to keep it in place.
So I opted for a new NAA-9002-E tank without the rear mount bracket since I already had one. It will work, right ? Wrong!
Looked through multiple listings and many sellers had that tank including here, (currently unavailable). The one I bought was sub $200 free shipping.
I was all excited until I took my rear tank mounting braket and placed it over the holes. No match as the as the stamped radius from the seam is 1/8" taller than original thus the bracket wouldn't go forward enough.
I thought about buying another rear tank mount Brkt., but who knows if it's the same as my original or reconfigured to fit the new generation of tanks with the taller radius.
So I hacked my original bracket and removed a portion of the radius allowing the bracket to now align with the holes in the L&R corners of the tank. I've got a piece of 2"x .080" pipe I'll cut to fit over the cutout and weld it in place.
Anyone else run into this, or have you replaced the tank with supplied bracket. I'm guessing the supplied bracket is different than the original.
