I am cheap. I haven't ever tried to deny that. Rather than buying the gas tank rubber pads, I've cut up a set of inner tubes. Here, I've put weatherstrip adhesive on the strap to glue the tube on. | |
Tubes cut and stuck. Clamping while it dries. Once it was
dry enough, took scissors and cut the excess off. Today's useless fact: One 26" tube is enough to do both the straps and the braces. | |
Did the same for the braces under the car. Straps installed, and then
tank installed. Bought the fuel cap last year knowing that I'd
need it. I think I've screwed up the way the fuel lines are routed though. I think that when I repaired the damage I did back here (repair here, but no real detail on it) that I hooked the vent line to the regular fuel line. I'm not really sure how the vent line is supposed to go; I know it goes up into the trunk and back down, but I don't know where it goes from there. So, I suppose it almost goes without saying that I do not have the lines hooked up. |
