It's easy.
You need to spacers that will fit in between the tank, rubbers and frame.
One spacer will be drilled and tapped for 5/16 allen head bolts.
The other is a thru hole. the rubbers fit tight on the 5/16 bolts heads.
You'll need a short one and a long one that goes thru the spacer frame and halfway thru the threaded spacer.
Then figure how far back by turning full lock and place the tank on the frame.
You might have to space it up to have clearance for the wires.
Slip a spacer and rubber in between the frame and tank and mark the location on the frame.
Drill a hole thru the frame at that location and bolt the 2 spacers in place and place the rubbers on.
Ok, that takes care of the front.
For the back you'll make a plate that bolts into the stock tank locates and will locate 2 new holes centered on the tank mounting holes.
I used pressed in threaded inserts, but you can just tap the plate if it's thick enough.
