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) ![]() |
