In cab tank isoliation

This sexy beast just arrived from LMC.
72 tank with eec.









I want to start fitting it in in my 87 square body tomorrow.

There will be a bit of fabrication to weld some studs to the existing cab and maybe modify the neck but nothing like building a tank from scratch.





I am wondering in stock form or as an upgrade if there is any rubber between the cab and tank bolts to isolate it?
Any rubber under the tank to isolate it?



I have 8" wide by 30' long of convenor belt that is 1/2" that I paid a dollar for and seems like it would be perfect to lay on the bottom of the tank. I could also take a hole saw and cut some 2" circles for the studs to pass through and place those 2" circles on the back and front of the tank to isolate the studs on the top.

Or is the isolation idea a horrible one which will cause squeaking all over the place and I will be better off mounting it hard and using aluminum washers which it looks like the factory did.
