LeMans III -- securing the fuel tank?
- Thread starter KnowFear
- Start date
Your are missing the part, GU14102600 which is the hold down strap. There should be a hook/tab under the round tube of the frame that is below the tank, and a similar hook/tab at the rear of the tank.

The clamp you are referencing holds the transmission breather hose, not the tank holddown strap. The lower tab for the tank strap is welded to the tube under the fuel tank just as John describes.

So, what is your strap anchored to?Morizzi said:
My buddies LMs3 had the welded tab on the bottom side of the cross frame tube that connects to the top tube that slopes down from the head tube - just like all the early tontis. He bought a new strap from MG Cycle noted by John Z and it was too short, or didn't stretch enough, so I swapped out the strap in my SP (same part no.).

Just got it firing!
My LM3 definately has a tab welded onto the frame.

Ditto on my (now sold) '83 LM3 and it's the same as on my T3 and LM1 but the length of the strap may differ to suit different tanks. It's a pain to get to on the LM3 with the airbox on. In this pic (from the LM1) you can see the tab just below the intersection of the top down tube and the cross tube
