Gas tank anti speak pads on straps.

[Brandon T.]

I'm replacing my gas tank with a new Quanta tank and straps and I need to know if anti-squeak pads go on the straps or not. The old one I took off has the pads on the straps but I have been told the pads only goes on the braces that support the tanks but the straps should not have pads. Please give me some advice.

I replaced my 70 tank a few months ago. Nothing on the straps. Anti-squeak pads were only on the under tank cross members.

Thanks Mike, mine is a 68 and looked like the correct straps and tank but the straps had pads. Both Quanta and Paragon told me no pads go on the straps.

Brandon, I replaced my tank about 18 months ago, and mine was the same as Mike's.

Thanks Kenneth, my car is a November 68 car. Maybe they quit putting them on the straps.

My '68 (November 67 build) did have pads on the straps when I changed out the gas tank a few years back.

Did you put the pads back on when you replaced the tank? Is your car a Big Block?

Like the others on this thread, they were completely deteriorated. I couldn't find anything I liked so I bought something from home depot about the same thinckness and used it, but it wasn't tar paper or anything. My car is not judged, so I put something in there that approximated the thickness and provided some cushion but wasn't too compressible. I used the yellow weatherstrip adhesive to glue it on. My car is a big block.

What does the Assembly Manual show in UPC 8?

It shows no anti-squeak pads on the straps and no indication of any revision removing said pads.

Looked at Dr.rebuild catalog and it shows pads for the staps. Item# 3002216 and has another number for the pads that goes on the cross braces that holds the tank up. I have decided to order them and put them on since my old straps had them.

Do whatever you like, but the car was built to the Engineering specs in the Assembly Manual, not to the Doc Rebuild catalog; 12 of the 13 major '67-'69 Camaro parts houses also sell insulator strips with their gas tank strap kits, and not one Camaro was ever built with them.
