Curious --- maybe I missed it (because you usually photograph everything) --- what did you use for anti-squeak material underneath the gas tank?

Thanks Tom.
I missed it because it's not where the TM says it should be (above the floor plate).
I wonder if that's a mistake in the manual? If the clamp was above the tin that would leave a gap w ... |

Maybe I missed it, but I see the smaller upper clamp (3/4") but not the larger lower clamp (2-3/4").
It's easy to miss as it blends in with the color of the boot, ... |

That's odd? The M38 ORD 9 listing shows part number 143481 on page 32 which lists the fitting as "Tee, flared tube, inverted' brass, 1/4" tube, 3/16" tube, 1/8" male pipe side." Note the two female po ... |

I believe the "T" (PN 143481 Pg 32 of ORD 9) actually has two female ends and the base leg end is male 1/8" pipe thread.
