<html><body>Might depend on the car involved. At chassis 151608-151610 the petrol tank straps and packing were modified. Knowing Moss, they always opt for the later release and ignore the early cars. The photo of the packing is way too thick. The length of the straps may be longer as well. The early tanks were a two piece assembly, then later a one piece. Cinching down the bolts under the boot floor would shorten the straps until you run out of threads. Packing under the tank will also affect the assembly.

<div class="ydp1b284ebeyahoo-style-wrap" style="font-family:'Comic Sans MS', sans-serif;font-size:16px;">
<div dir="ltr">I recently ordered a set
of gas tank hold down straps from Moss motors. They are well
constructed with 1 exception. The "strap pad" (packing) thickness
is .25" vs .125" original thickness based upon several old straps I
have. Not only is their strapping twice as thick, it also is 2
layers of .125" material. See attached Moss photo. This means that
the steel straps sit twice as high off of the gas tank. See Moss
photo of an MGA tank. Apparently, the Moss vendor made them to the
Moss specification. It is the specification that is in error.</div>
<div dir="ltr">Am I correct that the packing
material should be .125" thick? Were MGA strap pads thicker than
Healeys?</div>
<div dir="ltr">Has anyone run into this since
2010?</div>

The strap pad
thickness of just under 0.25” matches our 2010 drawing
specifications and has been produced to those specifications for
thirteen years now. We have not found the straps to cause an
installation issue during that time. </span></span></div>

I have attached a photo

this part number. Please note the strap is in a fully installed
state when this photo was taken.</span></div>
