1953-1962 C1 Fuel Tank Strap Retainers - Front Pair
These 1953–1962 Corvette fuel tank strap retainers replace the original front body-mounted plates that secure the fuel tank straps to the chassis. Over decades of exposure, the factory retainers commonly rust away, leaving the tank unsupported and improperly mounted.
This reproduction pair is manufactured in steel and designed to rivet to the body just like the originals, providing the correct mounting surface for the fuel tank straps. Proper retainers ensure correct tank position, strap tension, and long-term reliability during restoration or tank replacement.
Ideal for accurate restorations or safety-minded repairs, these retainers restore the original mounting method Chevrolet engineered for early Corvettes.
