Hi all,

My first post.. I'm building a Norton featherbed cafe racer, using an old Ironhead engine. Its going ok, but got a few questions, mainly about the 'Norton' part of the equation.

The oil tank is mounted using a couple of rubber bungs at the top, and a grooved boss at the bottom, which uses a fancy rubber band in some way. What I cant see, is how this 'rubber band' is supposed to work. Can anyone show me a photo or explain where it attaches to the frame. I have seen a photo where the band attaches to a hook on the inside of a frame rail, but my frame doesnt have this hook.

Here is the oil tank in question
