Eventually. Going to add some straps as well for additional bracing. Will see how best to integrate one

Had some ideas in the shower. Called the tank guy in. Did some measurements. Looks like he added 2” to my initial sketch
. So hung a little lower when my sketch and card board CAD was flush. Clearly a little sleep on the wheel on my end. Also realized that I could make notches in the top of the tank to miss the structural cross bracing on the 60 rear floor section. This buys me about 1.5”. Tank will only stick out 1/2” from bottom of frame. Guy was nice to come over and get it revised. Pics when done shortly. CADD design below.

Guy did a great job and decided to work with him rather than have him start from scratch. We came up with a good plan to get around structural bracing on the 60 body. Hang now is less than 1/2” below bumper.

How did you decide on the position of the baffles?

I did not. Guy who does it builds these for buggy’s and racecars. Not my lane.
Hows the 60 coming?
