New here and at best not very mechanical (but have friends that are...)
Since I retired I started a project, to my wife's dismay. I am trying to get a 1991 e250 van, with a discoverer by cobra conversion up and running. I am replacing both fuel sending units/pumps in the tanks. The rear tank was secured with the usual fuel tank straps that were mounted with a J or T bolt that fit in slots in the frame. Try as I might, I have not been able to locate replacements since both nuts broke off while removing them. They are approximately 8 inches long and are T shaped. Anyone have any idea if these were aftermarket or OEM parts and where to find replacements or if someone has an idea of another option.. Any help is greatly appreciated.
The junkyard if obsolete from Ford parts
You are not alone
Those tank bolts and J nuts on the GM stuff break constantly
Pretty sure i could come up with some pretty easy at the junkyards I visit
Have you asked Ford yet?
Thing about Ford parts is they will be 33 bucks each or more
When you go back together file 13 those swedged lock nuts
Thanks for the answers...I will check some of the area junk yard. Otherwise I will do some out of the box thinking to make it work. Rock auto only has the traps or bolts that do not match the ones I have on my van.

post a picture of what you have, as Ford used parts accross many vehicles. Could be something else out there that will work
