Roadster steel tank mounting

I'm replacing my 72 roadster glass tank with a 74 steel tank. The original glass tank mounts differently with large rubber ring & tabs on the rear.
With the steel tank I understand there are 2 steel cross bars (straps) front & rear that go under the top tube and bolt to the tank, is that correct?
If so I would assume I need to find the straps and imagine they would be specific to front/rear? Also need bushings, nuts and the foam pads that go between the tank and frame. Am i missing anything?

Appreciate any help, confirm, advice.

Thanks

There's only one strap at the rear of the steel tanks. Note that the strap is specific to the tank type (Interstate, Roadster)

Did the same here. Front is exactly the same as '72 but in the rear there is a metal strap with black foam rubber glued to it that goes under the frame tube. (I have an extra roadster one BTW.) The used tank I bought had lord mounts (muffler mounting rubbers) in the rear but the parts book shows studs, rubber washers and nuts like the front. I know some owners use the muffler mounts all around.

Thanks. That really helps!

Late model tanks had 06-0622 bonded rubber mounts at the rear instead of the studs and washers.

the 72 parts book also shows the lords mounts in front and rear.
