Fuel Tank Packing Strips

        Howdy
In the process of cutting out my 'B trunk (boot) floor, the fuel tank
naturally had to be removed. The rubber packing strips were arranged so that
they were perpendicular to the ridges on the tank. Is this correct? The Moss
and VB cats illustrate them as being parallel tho the ridges. I realize that
the catalogues may not be best source of info, but it gives me pauseto think.
