280zzzzzz I would like the dimensions if you have them.

I have one and it is 3" x 1 3/4" x 5/8" thick. I know two are this size and two are either thicker or thinner but not sure. I assume this helps keep tank level.

Thanks.

Sorry about my wrong measurements, I was going off of 240 pads, just noticed you have a 280.

I've never tried it myself, how about using some hockey pucks? Cut and trim to size?

I need to know the sizes. Then I can try something.

Thanks to all so far.

Those pads are 1/4-3/8" thick, you could try and auto or marine upholsterer.

Yep, That's what mine measure out to be.

 

IMO I really don't think 1/8" here or there is going to make a big difference for level, especially if you drive around corners.  You can get the width and length of each piece just by looking for the indents on top of the tank.

Agree. I am going to try to find something between 1/2" and 5/8" and see what happens. Not even sure if my sending unit is working perfectly anyway.

Thanks.

 On my early 74 the pads on the tall section are 1/2"-9/16". The pads on the lower section are 1/4"-5/16" thick.

Ended up getting a stair pad that is about the thickness of the large pads with ribs and the thickness of the small pads without the ribs. I also got two vinyl molding pieces I am going to try and make fuel strap protectors/separators.

Thanks.

I've been oot for a couple weeks - I can take some pics - and provide measurements tomorrow for you
