March 25, 20205 yr comment_595378 Those are the thickest fuel tank straps I've ever seen. Assuming they are aluminum, is there any concern over galvanic corrosion or are they completely isolated via rubber? I like the Silvermine sticker placement too.

March 25, 20205 yr Author comment_595379 They are stainless steel from Skillard. There is an isolator between the tank and strap. I used heavy duty vinyl? floor edging material. It’s back in my thread about two years...

March 26, 20205 yr Author Popular Post comment_595518 Thought this day would never arrive! Can I get a virtual high five from the forum please? High build (Valspar DTM prime and seal mixed 4:1:1) ready to sand in a couple hours and fill any last minute pinholes with putty. Then on to a mix of 4:1:2 for a seal coat before paint!

March 27, 20205 yr Author comment_595562 Did a test on the sanding after an hour and a half and it was still “mudding up” a bit with the 400 grit. I’m gonna leave it till tomorrow to sand.
