<p>Get some reinforced rubber stock--places like Orchard Supply
(maybe Lowe's, HD, etc.) sell it--and put a couple strips front to
back to level the tank and keep it off the boot pan.</p>
<p>BTW, if the tank hold-down straps have evenly-spaced holes
they're for copper rivets to hold a thick canvas-like padding.
You don't want the straps rubbing against the tank either
(substitute rubber if you like).</p>

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?
