Fuel tank straps on RS2

[Veg]

Can anyone help as I need all the fuel tank straps and the tank protection plates for my RS2. The nearside protection plate has rotted through so I could refurbish the others but as we all know as soon as I start to dismantle them they will break!

any answers or pointers much welcome. Also Vagcat doesn't really have the correct diagram for me to identify them properly

What are these straps made of? Can there be made generically out of alluminum without necessarily being identical to the original ones?

due to the rust they must be mild steel. I could get some made if I had the spec sheets

The straps are still available from Audi, I got a full set in march approx £80ish for the 3

The bolts are M8x25 . Mine were very rusty and came out quite easy.

The shield on the petrol tank filler side is no longer available. I had to make one out of an B5 RS4 one and the remains of existing one.
