OE gas tank “spacer”? Yea...step on in!

Interesting info, thanks. Areomotive recommends a very dense foam rubber to space the tank. I like the heavy rubber door mat idea. I actually had the idea to make a tank pad out of a door mat, with a hole cut for fuel pump clearance.

As for the straps, I figured I'd lengthen the OE straps or fab up some new ones.

I'll be wrestling with this a week or two, and I'll let y'all know what happens.
