Location: central Illinois		The original tank on my 1960 was rotten so I ordered one of Van's replacement tanks for a 61 which is 20 gallons. The straps from my old 23 gallon obviously don't fit.

Problem is they make a 20 gallon tank and 23 gallon straps. Does anyone know a source for either 20 gallon straps or 23 gallon tanks for the 1960's?
