Those brackets ate the tank mounts, nothing else attaches to them
no, you're not. Those 2 slots are held in place by a spring. Or use to be. There's no bolt, or you'd have a hole in the panel for it.
I believe an upgrade / updated part did have a hole for (iirc) a 1/2" 1/4-20
Also double sides sticky foam was used to keep it from rattling.
