| I put them in my 95 RMW and was happy with them. In fact I ordered an extra set for the other two wagons and a set for my 92 RM sedan, Not that I'll ever need those,but you never know.... | |

| Ray was the reason the straps were produced at all. He bugged the company, and sent them a set as a template. So, thanks to Ray we can get new straps. | |

| Oh so they did actually finally make these?
Badass.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
Not all my doing, though. Someone else contacted them and then sent them to me to get them straps.
Still, pretty neat. |

| It must be common to replace the straps when removing and reinstalling the tank ? Should I get a pair in case I ever need to R&R my tank? Thanks | |

| Mine look good. I don't see any rust underneath like in the picture. My car is virtually rust free. | |

| Sorry for dragging up an old thread, but what is the difference between these Spectra ST185 and the Spectra ST186? Is it a difference between wagon and sedan? RockAuto only lists the ST186, without specifying sedan or wagon. Amazon says that fits the sedan, lists the ST185 for the wagon. But two people above note using the ST185 on sedans. | |
