yeah, I did that repair recently. PO had previously stuffed JB Weld around edges of bracket to "fix" leak. Didn't last long as gasoline softens it over time and creeps past. I followed that thread and removed spot-welds on bracket. Rinsed out tank and left out in sun for day and filled with water. Brazed over hole with fillet of brass. Then tack-welded bracket back on. Rinsed out water with acetone. Good as new!
Measured bolts and made sure I used short one for that mounting point!
