Sir I have the pattern down, but is there a certain distance from the edge of the side of the tank to the strip. I would really appreciate you return. Thank you for what you are doing to help restorers. Tony A WV

The kit has 8 strips, 2 each of 4 lengths. The drawing here shows 3 lengths with 2 each on 2 sizes and 3 of a longer size. Do you have a different drawing for the strips actually in the kit?
Willys Jeep Parts Tech:
They really just line the bottom of the tank. We lay them equal distance from one another. its just trying to create a buffer so your not metal on metal contact.

Is there a certain placement of these strips? What areas do they need to cover? Do any go on the hold down clamp on the rear of the tank? Was nor able to see how the straps were placed as the old fuel tank had no welting strips under it.

What is the difference between this kit and the anti-squeak kit? Do you need both? Is one better recommended over the other?
Willys Tech:
This one is a welt material. The other kit is a felt material. Both are interchangable.
