Mine was pop riveted in place, I drilled them out and was quite surprised by the excellent condition of the tank. We looked inside the tank and it showed no signs of corrosion. I had the tank lightly beadblasted and powdercoated and it looked great! I put the tank back in with a polished s/s shield and used pop rivets to hold the brackets to the shield and used s/s screws to secure the brackets to the frame and other attachment points.
Hope yours is as clean as mine.
