Will this Fuel Tank Saddle and Strap Set fit my 1988 Vanagon Syncro Camper?

Yes, this set is designed to fit all Vanagon Syncro models from 1986 through 1991, including various trims like the Campmobile, Westfalia, and others. It’s a direct replacement, so it should fit your 1988 Camper perfectly.

Why choose the stainless steel Syncro Fuel Tank Saddle and Strap over the original parts?

The original parts were made from mild steel, which is prone to rust and corrosion over time. Our set is made in the USA from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, offering much greater durability and a longer lifespan, especially in wet or salty conditions.

Do I need special tools or skills to install this fuel tank saddle and strap set?

Installation usually requires removing the engine and transmission, which is a complex task. It’s best done by a skilled mechanic or someone experienced with Syncro vans. We include hardware and installation tips to help, but professional installation is recommended for safety and proper fit.

Is the fuel pump mounting improved with this Syncro Fuel Tank Saddle and Strap Set?

Yes, this set features a redesigned fuel pump mounting system that provides better security and makes installation easier compared to the original setup. This can help prevent fuel pump issues and improve overall reliability.

What comes included when I purchase the Fuel Tank Saddle and Strap Set from GoWesty?

You’ll receive a complete set with stainless steel fuel tank saddle and straps, all the necessary hardware for installation, and detailed tips to guide you through the process. It's everything you need to replace your aging or obsolete original parts with confidence.

GoWesty est fier de proposer ce tout nouvel ensemble de selle et de sangles pour réservoir de carburant Syncro, qui remplace directement l'original obsolète. Ceux-ci sont fabriqués ici même aux États-Unis et sont fabriqués en acier inoxydable contrairement aux originaux, qui étaient fabriqués en acier doux (et étaient donc très sensibles à la corrosion et aux pannes). Nous en avons même profité pour repenser l'emplacement de montage de la pompe à essence. C'est simple, sécurisé et fonctionne très bien ! Ceux-ci sont également beaucoup moins chers que tout ce qui est disponible, ce qui devrait vous rendre heureux.

Vendu en ensemble uniquement. Conseils de matériel et d'installation inclus.

• L'installation de ce produit nécessite généralement le retrait du moteur et de la transmission et ne doit être effectuée que par un mécanicien compétent.
• Convient à tous les modèles Syncro, y compris les camions à cabine simple et double.
