Looking for a replacement solution to the original fuel tank pads that retain moisture and rust the tank from the outside in.
Was thinking about some type of rubber padding that may be used similar to the below. Would also like to line the top of the battery tray with it as well. Any thoughts? Waxman 2-Pack 4-in Black Rubber Pads (w/ adhesive backing) |

I care though. I’d have to guess that between the 25 years the original owner had it on jack stands in a garage and the time I’ve owned it, my car has only occasionally been really wet during its first five years. The original felt pads were fine when I restored the tank so back they went. |
