METAL STRAP SECURING FUEL TANK TO VEHICLE RUSTED AND BROKE; DEFECT DISCOVERED BEFORE ANY CRASH/PERSONAL INJURY; CONTACTED MANUFACTURER'S DEALER FOR REPLACEMENT PART AND WAS ADVISED NONE AVAILABLE NOW NOR LIKELY TO BE AVAILABLE IN FUTURE; HAD TO ARRANGE FOR CUSTOM MANUFACTURE OF REPLACEMENT PART. I STILL HAVE PART OF THE RUSTED STRAP. THIS PART SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE OF A MORE DURABLE MATERIAL CONSIDERING THE FUNCTION IT SERVES; RUSTING ISSUE COMPOUNDED BY THE FACT THAT A LOOSE-FITTING COVER GOES OVER THE STRAP AND SAME APPEARS TO TRAP WATER, PROMOTING THE RUSTING ACTION. *TR
