In the 1967 AIM, there is a listing for anti-squeak pads running along the tank support, and along the rear crossmember, with no showing of any anti-squeak pads between the mounting straps and the tank itself. I noticed in our good friend, Dr. Rebuild's catalog that he shows / sells such pads that go between the tank and the straps. Questions: 1) Is it correct to have these installed or not (2) Considering that this area cant be seen anyway, is it a good idea to use them, or is it squeak-free enough to forego this? Thanks again for all of the help!
I recently helped a friend install a new gas tank in a frame off 64 restoration. The 64 AIM does not show the anti squeak pads under the straps either. When I put a new tank in my 69, I used the pads. I always thought that the pads were there originally, but the AIM says differently. Chuck

When I replaced the anti squeek on my 58 I used roofing felt also, but I found the "standard" weight, called 15 Lb. felt was too thin. My experience was that 30 Lb. felt (or "double duty" as we call it here in the Northeast) was nearly identical to the original thickness.
