Gas Tank Pads


52_Special

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I researched this and could not find the answer I was looking for. When I dropped my gas tank I noticed that there were two heavy gauge felt pads between the body and the gas tank. They were obviously not reusable. I understand that purpose that these pads serve in minimizing friction. My problem is that I don't know where to find an adequate replacement. This doesn't seem to come up on the radar very often as the only ones that came up on a Google search were for Mopar cars.

What could I use to insulate the gas tank from the body? </SPAN>

I bought a rubber strip that is used for sealing the bottom of a garage door at Home Depot and cut it to size.

Mike,

I'll give you one more.

I used wash machine drain hose, slit with a razor lengthwise, on the top saddles of my '40 LTD.

Made new bottom straps from a set of Chevy S-10 straps that I welded the front "hook" on to.
