Review on Spectra Premium ST448 Fuel Strap by Jonathan Sanders

These belts are a great fit for a 2004 Subaru Forester. However, if you're replacing the straps on the tank, it's probably because they're rusted, so your bolts are probably rusted as well. The thread pitch for our machine was M8x1.25. The two backs are about 2 inches long, the two fronts are about 1 inch long. I bought 10.8 degree screws from a local hardware store. Second, the rear screw heads were so rusted that after cleaning none of the heads fit. I used a bolt extractor that cuts into the head of the bolt and it worked fine. With the front mastered with the usual key. Attaching the straps in the back can be an issue, I had to straighten the back a bit to get it through. Before tightening, tighten the front and rear screws, which will tension the belt. Have fun!
