The gas tank baffle over the steering column bracket is loose, and causes a very annoying vibration at certain RPM's. I can stop it by pushing up on steering wheel, and no, it is not looseness in the bracket. Anybody know of a quick fix, removing the tank is not an option. Any half-baked solution considered. Thanx.

Install the dash rail bracket, then jam some rubber on the upper half of the gas tank bracket to put pressure up on the tank bottom.

I recall reading on this site about someone using a large magnet.

I was also going to suggest a large magnet. Great minds think alike.
