gas tank mounting

bartibog1

i am ready to mount my gas tank on 53 super wasp and have searched through my parts for whatever goes in bottom of trunk where fill pipe passes trhough and can not find anything that would have sealed around this pipe. i have the gromment that goes around the fill pipe at top. memory is a little foggy after 6 years. a picture would help if someone would be so kind. or a discription of same.

thanks steve

it gets a sponge rubber gasket (k-gap should be able to supply it) and three metal straps up from the bottom these speed nut onto studs. the gasket should be on the neck before installing the tank but you could do it after the fact by slitting it.

thanks nick i got a gasket from k gap for top of tank filler but they dont list one for the bottom of trunk. maybe both are the same but hole in trunk is not round. i c the holes for metal pieces will have to sort though parts for them
