John S Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Is there supposed to be any type of insulating material or rubber strip between the gas tank straps and the tank?
70 Iron Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 It does John,it looks like black felt most suppliers carry it,I just ordered the kit from Groundup ,straps,felt,and bolt kit. You probably can use roofing felt and cut strips
John S Posted January 27, 2015 Author Posted January 27, 2015 I have some 1/16 inch firm neoprene strips is that acceptable or the felt better? I used 1/8" thick neoprene 2" strips between gas tank and trunk floor.
70 Iron Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 That likely will be fine,its just to keep it from rattling also will keep the finish from scraching from the straps 1
Boots Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 i would put some on the top of the tank also just in case......it would be a pain to drop the tank after... then put thin rubber or neoprene between the tank and trunk floor
John S Posted January 29, 2015 Author Posted January 29, 2015 I used 1/8 in thick, 2 in wide neoprene strips 60A durometer on top, so I should be OK on both ends. John S
