I am a long ways from installing the tank yet, but want to get fitted. The body is upside down on the rotisserie right now so I can just lay the tank in place to check its fit. The neck is bent 1" to the side as well as the cracked joint. I don't think I'm going to bother bringing it back for a replacement, all though thats an option. From the looks of it, I appears the tank mounting area is what bends as the neck is incredibly solid by comparison.

I still have my original tank in deep storage too. I suppose I could always go get that & compare them. Its just not nearby or easy to do.

What was originaly used between the tank & body, tank & straps? I am finding conflicting info between strips & insulation sheets. The restoration manual doesn't show anything.
