[Healeys] Gas Tank Seal

[Josef.Eckert at t-systems.com]

 Hi Kees,
This was a specific Austin-Healey question and please do not answer, if you do not know.
Sometimes its better to be quiet and do not send spam mails. 

Sorry Bob I do not have the exact measurements. I bought strips of rectangular rubber, about 2.5 to 0.5 cm and clued them together, when I did it on my BN1.

Do not place a mat of any kind under the fuel tank. It will rot out the bottom of it and the corresponding part of the boot eventually. Rest the tank on some rubberstrips about 3/4" wide of the appropriate thickness. 
This will leave some ventilation space under the tank.
