Fuel tank welt
Has anyone replaced this welting by attaching it to the tank with glue or silicone some way before replacing the tank? I am a one man band here trying to do it on my own, a loan of a girl friend to assist would be greatly appreciated - no experience necessary. Thanks guys. John Spragg Australia.

Re: Fuel tank welt
John, if the welting is the correct size, and made of the proper material, (--which what most vendors sell is neither) AND if the welting is cut correctly as Ford did originally, then one person can install it whether it is a '28/29 or a '30/31. Lay it out and then use pliers to pull it in. When you glue it, the chances of you being able to glue it in exactly the correct place would be difficult at best.
Ohh, nice try on the "Loan-a-Girlfriend" work program!! |

My blind buddy "Elmer" has recently stopped drinking and would be HAPPY to loan you his girlfriend, she's a good strong worker and will eat most anything.
Only one condition...no returns

Re: Fuel tank welt
This is a '30 A coupe I am working on and the masking tape sounds like a good option as for the girl friend loan offer I will give that a miss thank you. I have painted this welt the same color of the fuel tank (with a plastic paint tinted to match) . John Spragg Australia.
