[Healeys] BN2 Fuel Tank

[Michael MacLean]

Forgive me, but when I acquired my BN2 it was an empty body shell and frame with a rather tatty suspension system.  Putting this car back together is something of a jigsaw puzzle with all the pieces blank.  Somehow it all fits together, but it is slow going sometimes.  I am trying to install the fuel tank in the boot.  The rubber seal for the rectangular hole is forward in the boot so the tank sits on it, but the rear of the tank is not supported and falls to the boot floor.  Am I missing something?  I don't find any type of support rubber or block that lifts the tank level in any catalog.  The rubber seal for the rectangular hole which is around 3/4 inch thick is all that is listed.  Are the tank straps supposed to crush the rubber enough to bring the tank down level with the floor.  Seems to me the tank should not just sit flat on the floor in the rear with metal to metal contact. Can someone clue me in here?Mike MacLean
