Title: 67-68 Gas line guard
Post by: qman on December 20, 2009, 02:24:21 PM
There is a gas line guard on 67's that attaches to the bottom side of the floor. When I took it off the car prior to replacing the floor I took some pictures now I can't find the pictures can someone help with either a picture or advise? Thanks

No nuts were used . The bolt was a self tapping type. Bob

The gas line guard bolts tapped into the bottom of the drivers rear torque box, a little thicker sheet metal than the floor. also a great place to hold dirt and moisture, so you may want to add a little grease to the line in that area to help stop the line from rusting.

Great idea for those living in the rust parts of the world.
