Default Re: Gas tank seeping.

Buy the 31 mount that moves the brace away from the tank. On some cars you will have to make an adapter to make it do the job, but it is easily done with common tools and no welding, just drill some holes in a bar to match the dash support and the column support, buy a few nuts and bolts and a couple of hours work you are done. Do not reattach the column down by the tank and center the column so that it doesn't touch the old mount on the tank. You will have to remove the dash rail and reinstall it, not a hard job at all. I made one for my 29 roadster and it has functioned well for several years now, since I first read about the leaking problem and looked at how the column is mounted to the tank. If it doesn't leak, it is just a matter of time until it will. Mine didn't but why wait until gas is dripping on your legs to try to be safe?
