I am getting ready to remove my gas tank and as I was checking the
bolts that hold the tank strap, I realized that the were covered with
undercoating (factory?). When I say covered you can barely make out
the strap or that there is a nut on the threaded portion. My questions
are; Is there a way to dissolve the under coating on this part of the
strap so I can get a wrench or socket on it? Will I end up having to
"chop" my way through it?
Did the Imperials all come with factory undercoating or was a dealer
applied item?
Take a hacksaw or dremel and just cut them off. You can get new J bolts
very easily and cheaply but if you mess around and break the tang that
the bolt mounts in your in a "Heap O Trouble" (tm). If you can't find
the bolts locally www.gastank.com has them for practically nothing.
