Re: I'm one of you guys now

Don't know why it wouldn't work. Guess if it starts squeaking you can always pull it back down, and do something different. Just don't scratch that impressive paint job!

Re: I'm one of you guys now

Looking great Joe.. your really knocking it out!

the anti squeek straps are only like 10 bucks from lmc. you could almost/ most likely do 2 tanks with 1 kit... just a thought. or maybe cut a thin piece of rubber hose and lay it out.

Hey that's an idea. Since now I have to get another tank, we can do both tanks!

Re: I'm one of you guys now


I realize it is cheap, but what about shipping, then I have to wait for it.......I hate mail order

BTW, Thanks Dennis!

Use a bicycle innertube. Cheaper, and readily available.
