Hi Steve
On my RK and van (built from an AD tourer) the tank is bolted hard to the bulkhead by two 5/16 set screws with the hex head of the screw showing to the front. The tank sits on the ledge with a cork strip filler.
I’ve taken up any alignment problems at the back of the tank where it bolts to the dash by inserting a rubber washer. You’re right to be worried about putting strain on the tank, they have a tendency to leak at the rear where the lugs are riveted and soldered to the thin steel of the tank.
Cheers
Howard
