The gas tank straps on my '95 were a little more involved.
So I get this call about 6 pm on a Sunday night in the winter. My daughter is on her way back up to school and hears this scraping noise. She's pulled over in a mall parking lot in Auburn, Maine. I have her look under the car. Yep, broken tank strap. And she's 40 miles from her apartment. I have her call AAA.
Next day I find a place near her who can do the work, although he wasn't sure about getting the parts. No worries, I tell him, they'll be there in a couple of days. I order them from eEuro and my kid schedules the car to go into the shop. I have her go under the car and duct tape the strap up so she can drive the 7 miles to the shop. Then $35 in labor later she has two new gas tank straps. Not bad, doing the work from 180 miles away!
But really I like your grassroots solution. Nice work!
