    Hey Hamster welcome to the forum.

    I had a hard time following your post, perhaps a picture would help (if you posted one sorry, it was likely blocked by my works firewall).
    However, if I understand you are asking about fuel tank straps. Your local AutoZone should have them for about $32 a pair.

    Welcome! If the brush guard is rusted out, replace it or simply leave it off. Running around on $3 fuel tank straps is not a great idea. Immediately replace the $3 straps with the correct OEM metal straps as that generation had a reputation for fires after a rear end collision. The GC '93-'98 had a recall that used an NHTSA-approved trailer hitch to strengthen the rear end in case of a collision.
