Gas tank supports and straps?

[Grimm]

Hey everyone, I'm replacing my 16ga tanks on my V10. So here's my question: are the tank supports necessary or is there another option? The only replacements I've been able to dig up are on LMC and are like $60 each. At this point I may just weld up my own. Any ideas or sites with cheaper options would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I bought from these folks then had my uncle sandblast and paint them at the shop he's at. $100 for a set of 4 isn't horrible. Better than $240 for Chinese steel

^^^That's what I did too, when I needed brackets. Just bought nice used GM parts from a guy out west.
