What kind of adhesive/glue is used to hold the anti squeak pads and insulator pad to the gas tank?

Thanks for the help

I didnt use any. The straps tighten down very well and they have not moved in 3 years. Maybe others do use glue but I dont see where its necessary. :)

Wow Click that was fast!:) I was thinking of doing that, but It looked like the old pads were glued. Or maybe it was just 39 years of crud making me think it was glue. anyway I might try to do it w/o any adhesive. You are right that once the tank is itghtned, I dont see how they would move.

Thanks for the help.

I think you may need some adhesive for the rubber block to stay in place while mounting the tank. The straps you may get away with. I just used some 3M carpet adhesive.

I usually use 3M Weatherstrip Adhesive. Basically just to hold it in place. They wont move around much (if any) once the tank is installed.

Thanks for the reply's, went with a little weatherstrip adhesive cause I had it handy. It worked great. I must say I was impressed with the quality of the canadian made repro I purchased, but I do plan on having the original cleaned and will store it.

Thanks again for the help

I too was very impressed with the repro quality of apperance and just about had me sold till it started to leak around the seams. I'm not sure if it was a Canadian made one or not.
The one in the picture above was a brand new GM I bought from Classic. It came with the repair work already around the spout. I call and told them I didn't want a repaired one but they said they were all like that. At least it didn't leak and you can't see the repair.

I did not use adhesive either. 15 years and no problem.
