Fuel tank anti squeak pads

Looks a lot like tar paper. For the stuff price that the parts retailers have I can get a roll at Lowes, what am I missing. Thanks Jack

You are probably correct. I bought the tar paper straps for my 68 and 70 from a Corvette vendor . Both cars have new fuel tanks from Quanta. Maybe a couple of bucks too much more expensive that the Leowes tar paper, but they fit and look OK. Moving on the other issues.......(renewing one of these old cars is a painful experience in addressing all these nit noy small details.)

Look around for a roofing job. Roofers discard more than enough 30# felt paper that you need for the job. If you ask, they'll probably cut enough off a roll for free.

I used strips cut from the bladder of a 75 tank.
