Description
Overview:
The Wire Tank Strap is a genuine Villiers part designed to secure petrol tanks on JAP/Villiers Stationary Lightweight engines. Made from strong formed steel wire, it holds a round tank firmly against its mountings to prevent movement and vibration during operation. It suits 4" (approximately 10.16 cm) diameter petrol tanks and has a band size of 4 1/2" (approximately 11.43 cm), aligning with typical lightweight stationary engine fittings. This unused old stock piece is ideal for maintaining period-correct function and appearance on vintage engines, while keeping the tank safely in place.
