 |
|
When I look at the drawings and the pictures in the building guide,
it appears that I am to place 4 strips total on the fuel tank. At
the front and back, both top and bottom. The strips run from outside
edge to inside edge. Then I put strips on the tank support channel
(7-V11-4K) (6 of those for each tank) and two strips on the rear
channel that is behind the tank (on 7-V11-2K).
That is not a whole lot of the 50' spool of cork provided with the kit.
There was a thread on this site where a couple of people said that
they used more cork than the 50' spool. And I don't see how that
could be the case.
Are we supposed to put more than the 4 strips on the tank? Did
some/all of you try to cover or at least put a bunch of strips on the
bottom of the tank?

In addition to the four strips shown, I ran it around the perimeter of the
bottom and top of the tank. Also around the filler neck and drain. Save a small
amount for your coolant overflow bottle.

I'm doing a 601, but believe it's quite similar installation. I added
extra cork figuring the extra padding is better and makes a tighter fit with
very little extra weight. In fact, in some places where the cork did not
completely fill the space, I added some addituional padding on top of it in
the form of some similar strips of thinner stuff I happened to have on hand.
