    Oil Tank rack

    I’m wanting to replace the rusted oil tank rack in my 2008 496. Does anyone know if I can get this anywhere? Or should I call Charger?

    The rack that the remote oil tank sits on. The bungee cord hooks to it and goes over the oil tank to hold it down. I guess I could call it an oil tray.

    After a quick google search of “mercury oil tank bracket”, I see that this is a common issue with these. It seems Mercury should offer something that doesn’t rust so bad. There are some cheap diy fixes that appear to work well and some expensive aftermarket brackets. Regardless, I was shocked what mine looked like when I pulled out my oil tank yesterday.
