If you don't have a welder, you can make new tank mounts like this.
The tank mounts were made by drilling a hole in the frame gusset where I thought the mounts should be....some careful measuring and marking and some luck were used. I used a threaded rod, 4 lock nuts...the kind that are a tight fit on the threads and won't move without using a wrench, and 4 big washers that fit inside the rubber mounts. I first cut the rod so that is was the length necessary to go between the tank and leave room for the rubber cushions. The holes in the frame were made just a tad big to allow for adjustment up/down/forward,/back. I then inserted the rod, put a large washer on each side, then a lock nut on each side.....then inserted another lock nut on the outside and a washer, then the rubber cushions. Once I had the adjustments made I marked the positions of the washers on the frame, took them off and epoxied those washers, then tightened all the nuts and let the epoxy harden before I put the tank back on. There was no welding in this process.....just a threaded rod, washers, lock nuts, and epoxy.
