 Fuel tank J bolt source? Brick and mortarI've just about had it with the ridiculous shipping costs associated with many of the Bronco parts houses. Last night I started to place an order for two new J bolts to reinstall my auxiliary tank. When the cost of shipping nearly exceeded the cost of the actual hardware, I said enough is enough.
I'm looking for a brick and mortar source for J bolt replacements. Has anyone had any luck with doing a local purchase on these? Home Depot, not surprisingly, had nothing that was a direct fit option. Several options I could modify to work, but the risks of damage to the hardware were not worth it to me. _________________ Stroppe'd 1972 Sport, 302, 3 speed with old school Duff floor shifter, T shift Dana 20 with JB Fab twin stick, 4.11 gears with Trac-loc, Lincoln hydroboost, Chevy disc conversion, WH gas lift gate shock kit, 33" Duratrac tires on slots and about 2.5" of lift, Stroppe installed: bumper braces, dual shocks on all four corners, GM power steering, trans cooler mount, auto shift column, rollbar.

Re: Fuel tank J bolt source? Brick and mortar I feel your pain on shipping. I said enough is enough when the local bronco parts supplier charged me shipping on a fuel tank that I went and picked up from them.
You may try O'Reillys or Advanced before going to extremes. |

Re: Fuel tank J bolt source? Brick and mortar I ended up making my own using a torch to get the bend right.

Re: Fuel tank J bolt source? Brick and mortar I also made my own J-Bolt vs. the cost of buying one.
