I've had half a boot floor welded in my mini, and the old bit of floor has been chucked out with the fuel tank strap mounting point on it. So now I've got no mounting for the fuel tank in the boot.
Here my boot floor at the mo, plenty of room for a bracket:

But once the fuel tanks in, I can't see how the retaining bolt is going to mount unless it goes through the hole in the fuel tank lip and into a bracket behind it?

Is that how it works? A long bolt goes through the strap, through the hole in the tank and into a bracket behind the lip? Just wondering if somebody can check it for me on there car or get some photos of the bracket placement if possible
Also is my fuel tank positioned correctly?
This is how it sits in the boot:

Can't get it in any further because it fouls on the bootlid cable mount:

I've found this on minispares: Link
Made for mounting R/H tanks. I was thinking I could make something simple, just a right angled bracket with a gusset to stop it just bending back when the bolt is tightened and just rivet it to the boot floor in the right place. I've got some 2mm steel which would be ideal for it so i'm not planning on buying the correct bracket.
Cheers for any help
