Gas tank install
I'm almost done with the birdcage and I was planning on making some tank supports for my Superformance tank. It looks like it will be squeezed against the lower 3/4" tubing for the trunk floor supports.
I would like to have some clearance in this space and not squeeze the tank directly against the 3/4" tubing pieces. What would be a good material to make some spacers out of? Delrin, rubber, shipping peanuts? 
I'd like to gain about 3/4" below the frame and support the tank along the length of the frame rails, so a long piece of 1" wide material about the depth I need with a shallow slot cut into the top of it to mate to the frame piece seems like it would take up the space and support the tank without damaging it. Does this sound like a workable solution?
BTW, what are you guys doing for fuel tanks and how are you mounting? - Bob |
