Heath,
Those brackets are shown in their original location in 2 pictures of post #28 so 2 per side. My guess is saddle tank mounting as the only other possibility would be for side panel attachment.

Good eye Andy. I missed those photos. There is no evidence on the cockpit side trim panels of any attachments. I have what is left of one of the blocks of wood that the tanks sit on. Looking at the photos you provided there it seems that they were a hinge mechanism to rock the tanks out to possibly work on them without pulling the tank out from under the gunnel. But when you look at the block of wood in this photo the long screws running through the blocks would go into the cockpit floor. Still kind of a mystery. I’ve got the tanks installed now. So I’m going to go this route. Kind of a head scratcher.
