What are you guys using? I am missing a couple. I think I may need to go thicker than stock to keep my fat sway bar from hitting tank.

Use something that doesn't hold water.

Mine had pieces of indoor/outdoor carpeting.

I use neoprene With an adhesive backing.

I cut up an old wetsuit and used that. Doesnt hold water, and was the perfect thickness

go to home depot and look at the felt kits for underneath furniture legs. they typically have a couple of largee pieces that you can cut and it wont crush like neoprene.

I'll check out home depot's furniture felt and see what other materials are around. I do not like the idea neoprene crushing or its high friction.

I followed the wet suit option although found some rubber that was similar thickness and maybe a bit denser. Didn't like the way felt holds water and can sit against a steel tank and possibly start rust areas. I also reckon rubber is a bit less abrasive than compacted felt

.....In the late cars....rubber fitted pieces were used?

I've often thought Mark (Mikey914) could come up with a good replacement for these. Mark, whatcha think?

Nah...really? I think my 75 had felt. Do you want it to slip or grip. I figured the rubber end pieces are grippy and the rest slippy, otherwise with flex and movement wouldn't it tweak the tank?

What about A/C pipe insulation?

It comes in many thicknesses......???

...Contest me with facts?..not
if you have felt it was changed by PO

There were rubber fitted pieces at the side, around the seams of the tank up near the top.

Underneath was always felt rectangles, as far as I know. I glued pieces of neoprene that I got at the hardware store in place of the indoor-outdoor carpet that a PO had put in place of the felt.

Here is all the rubber sheet options you will ever need, shipped to your door!! Most have an adhesive backed option too .

I will be going with the super soft silicone with adhesive backing:

These work out perfectly. They sell the large pads and have adhesive on the back.

I used sheet closed cell foam as I didn't want to trap water. You may have guess I had some scrap hanging around. You still need the side rubber pieces, but where the tank contacts the body it was a reasonable solution.

There are many sources for the foam, I could do up a "kit" but didn't see the demand as it is readily available.

I cut down a piece of polyethelene pipe wrap from Home Depot...think it was about $1.75, glued in with 3M adhesive. Won't hold water.

Really?!? are we over thinking this?

Neoprene mouse pad.

We even put one on a spacecraft once as a "cushion" for a deployable strut (Stardust solar array support).

I just ordered the High-Strength Multipurpose Neoprene Rubber Adhesive-Back, 3/8" Thk, 2" W, 36" L, 40A Durometer from McMaster carr. I had to buy 36 inches so I will have some extra

Thanks David. I decided to go with the heavy duty furniture felt. I used some rubber spacers under the felt to raise my tank up to clear the sway bar.
