[TR] Gas tank pads -TR2/3

[wbeech]

Angelo,
The Triumph Parts book describes them as Felt, but they do feel a bit
heavier than that.  Moss sells the four pieces, 2-strap and 2-under-tank for
$17.45, part number is 849-320.  TRF only show to carry one of the
under-tank pieces.

As the book calls out two under tank pads, 107561 & 107562, I would say that
you need one under each level.

As a follow up question, has anyone found a suitable, or superior,
substitute material for these from a convenient local source?   I was think
that I might use cork when I get to the tank installation point of my
project.

Hello List:
Wondering what others have used to replace the horse-hair (?) pads used
under the TR2/3 gas tanks? Are there pads under both levels of the tank, or
just under the wider section immediately behind the seats.
Thanks for any help with this.
