FC RX7 fuel tank straps- Where the hell do they bolt to at the rear?

Can someone tell me where hell the rear of the fuel tank straps join to on the car? Are they on the spare wheel well or something?

I can only see the front bolt holes? Either I'm blind or I've chopped off something I shouldnt...

Unlikely, but are vert ones different maybe? As the ones I have here are off a vert I think.

Going by memory I believe they are hook-and-latch. So there are only the two bolts and the opposite end are latches. I'm trying to see if I have a picture but it doesn't look like I do.

I added the link because for some reason the bottom of the photo is cutting out
Sometimes you can get lucky and only have to remove two. depends on how old your straps are.

Coupe and vert straps are the same. It bolts behind the rear end and to the spare tire well. Go to my build thread and you can see were they go
