[Healeys] BJ8 Bell exhaust

[Oudesluys]

Brad,
Although it may not be original I would certainly be practical andcreate 
some space between trunk floor and petrol tank by fitting a few rubber 
strips or blocks under the tank leaving a space of about 1/2" to let air 
circulate and dry out possible condensation which otherwise may rot out 
the tank and/or trunk floor. I have seen this happen lots of times with 
various cars.
