If I understand it correctly...that cheap little piece of strapping that secures the gas tank band to the frame (you call it a firewall)?
I bought standard L brackets and bolted them onto the "firewall" in a position that would accept the gas tank strapping (I can check the details if you want but I got them at the local hardware store...maybe 2 1/2 or 3 inchers?).
lower gas tank strap below the bracket, upper strap above it. Locknut below (1/2" box end I think) and whatever was on it above...flat blade on a cordless driver extension is handy although the more I think about it, use whatever you have to secure the gas tank strap to the bracket.
