Hi,
I bought a Hi Point tank and I am looking for the bungee type straps and the adapter around the fuel cap that keeps them in place. Any info would be great.
Thanks
Rob
Rob,
The adapter your looking for is just an small aluminum disc, with 2 sides rolled up to hold the bungee cords. The cords themselves are just springs and cables covered by a rubber or pvc sleeve. I will take some pictures and add dimensions and post them for you. I sure it will be easy to make up the adapter. The cords may take a little hunting for the right spring material but other than that easy to make up.
Thanks,
Kevin

Thanks, that will be awesome!
Rob,
Here are the details on the adapter plate and the bungees to hold the tank down.
This adapter has an OD of 3" and an ID of 2.25". The way it works is the ID fits snugly around the neck of the tank, then with the cap on the tank the cords can't pop out of the upward point edges of the adapter.
The tank hold downs have an overall length of 24" The springs are 2.5" long and have an OD of .427. The the sleeve that fits over each of the springs is 4.75" long. The springs are connected together with a piece of cable, could probably be cut from an old throttle or brake cable. The length of the small sleeve that covers the cable (not including the length of sleeves that fits over the springs) is 16". As far a locating springs go you may want to check with someone who repairs furniture, I have seen springs similar to this in my recliner.
