Lotus Elan S3 dhc 1968

Hi all,
As I had such good feedback on my last post -I would like to pose a question-
How is the petrol tank in the boot held in position- are there steel straps that hold the tank in place and I done really want to punch holes in the boot floor as I think they will be visible and spoil the view of its rear bum -or rear valance under the bumper.

Any help or comments would be appreciated

Thanks in advance
