Series 3 109 fuel tank outrigger missing??

Hey, just gone to install a factory fuel tank in my ex Australian series 3 109. And it seams to be missing the outriggers, and no evidence they were ever there. Any one got any ideas to why .

Some bleeder did a chassis refurb and couldn't be arsed ? I have had outriggers and tank supporting brackets missing on vehicles in the past.

Do you mean these ones https://www.paddockspares.com/da2019n-front-of-fuel-tank-outrigger-swb-lh.html

Yes those are the ones, I'll have to add one on. Just thought it was strange.

It all depends on the history, are there signs of a new rear cross member ? or fabrications on the chassis.

Series three has the tank in the rear.

Depends on the year?
My '73 had the tank on the driver's side.
