Posted September 14, 20159 yr comment_477551 Anyone know where I can get a set of 4 fuel tank pads? 76 280. I had them 2 days ago and can't find them anywhere. Need to get the tank back in and start driving. Thanks. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/52366-gas-tank-rubber-pads/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

September 14, 20159 yr Author comment_477554 Not to sound stupid but I am not sure where to get dense closed cell foam and at what thickness. Checked Home Depot and lowes but didn't see anything close. Thanks.

September 14, 20159 yr comment_477556 Try McMaster-Carr. They offer a large array of rubber and foam sheets at reasonable prices. http://www.mcmaster.com/# Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/52366-gas-tank-rubber-pads/#findComment-477556 Share on other sites More sharing options...

September 14, 20159 yr Author comment_477558 I thought there were two different sizes. At least what I saw on another post. No mention of thickness just that was on thinner section were not as thick as the ones of the deeper part of tank. Thanks.

September 14, 20159 yr Author comment_477560 Checked McMaster Carr and they have a 6"x6"x3/8" thick pad for 4.17 each. I just need to confirm two different thicknesses. Thanks.
